Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.
An editorial cartoon of MLK standing in front of chaos and wreckage with the words, "I plan to lead another non-violent march tomorrow"

From a poetry collection by Mary Oliver, where after a hundred poems showcasing gentle observations on nature and animals, she hits you with this
OF THE EMPIRE We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

Cartoon of a hooded klansman grabbing a shocked Uncle Sam by the lapel, pointing to the U.S. capitol, saying “Listen! I want that building for my private office!”

“Begin at the beginning,” the King said, very gravely, “and go on till you come to the end: then stop.”
