Know Better Do Better

18. All The Stuff No One Ever Taught You About Dr. King


Listen Later

Did you know MLK was mentored by Ghandi? Did you know that he was very controversial within the Black community? Or that he turned away demonstrators who weren't committed enough to nonviolence? I’m teaching the things about MLK's movement that they didn’t teach you in school.

This episode also teaches you about Dr. King denouncing the Black Power movement, his personal thoughts on Malcolm X (straight from his autobiography), his issues with greed within the system of capitalism, and more. It's time for a refresher on this world-changing man.
