Please keep in mind that he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize irregardless of J. Edgar Hoovers efforts to smear him. This county's history is replete with adulterous leaders from Jefferson through JFK to the present. America struggles with the legacy of MLK along the same lines as the issue of the display of Confederate flags and monuments. We continue to struggle with our diversity and past with no resolution in site.

Rich - While your statements above ring true, please note that you are responding to posts made three years ago, 2016. The first current thread was that posted by Steve yesterday.

One thing did make me uneasy. Our last POTUS also received the Nobel Peace Prize and almost immediately upon election - no opportunity to earn it by noble deeds. To me, that did not help the situation of diversity either.
