🖨️ Print Article

There was and still is a Martin Luther King who is lionized, memorialized, and fossilized.  And there was and still is a Dr. King who was something else again.  DJ Sese's mixtape liberates Martin Luther King by restoring him to his context in the truly revolutionary environment of the Freedom Movement of the 50s and 60s.
