520 _a"At the heart of the conservative appropriation of King's vision is the argument that King was an advocate of a color-blind society. Hence, any policy or position that promotes color consciousness runs counter to King's philosophy....Martin Luther King, Jr., has wrongly been made the poster boy for opposition to affirmative action." (OTHER SIDE) The author argues that the legacy and vision of Martin Luther King, Jr., have been co-opted by conservatives and used against black leaders who believe more progress must be made toward racial equality and a color-blind society.
