#3 Like too many of MLK Jr's circle, after MLK was murdered by a Democrat or on the orders of LBJ/Hoover type elitists.

He and the Rev's started pimping Race for Fame, power and $$$$. By the late 1970's the MLK cause had been basically co-opted and was a Guilt based Blackmail shakedown scheme.

My condolences to the Family.

But likely we see a son or Daughter pickup the Black-Guilt Flag soon and milk it for $$$, fame and power. Using daddies name.

The Civil Rights movement was a good thing, but like that guy said...
"Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket." ― Eric Hoffer

Condolences to the family.
