King’s legacy celebrated on a day that likely signals a step backwards in the fight against racism

Black individuals and communities were seen around Washington DC honoring King’s legacy on a day that likely signals a step backwards in the fight against racism.

Musk okayed the use of racial slurs on X while Mark Zuckerberg recently rolled back on Meta’s DEI policies.
