Luminous Library: Rare MLK -- King on DuBois and Historiography

posted by drew

"It would be well to remind white America of its debt to Dr. Du Bois. When they corrupted Negro history they distorted American history because Negroes are too big a part of the building of this nation to be written out of it without destroying scientific history. White America, drenched with lies about Negroes, has lived too long in a fog of ignorance. Dr. Du Bois gave them a gift of truth for which they should eternally be indebted to him."

--Martin Luther King Jr. (Feb. 23, 1968)
