Trump’s deliberately imprecise proclamation is another example of American politicians whitewashing, sanitizing or outright denigrating the legacy of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., a man who was monitoredslandered and ultimately killed for organizing against the violent racial discrimination and economic inequality of African Americans.

“We renew our resolve to honor our heritage, reclaim our freedom, and reaffirm our commitment to the truth that America is, was, and forever will be a great nation,” Trump wrote near the end of his proclamation, using verbiage that had nothing to do with MLK Day. “On this day, I encourage all Americans to recommit to Dr. King’s dream by engaging in acts of service to others, to their communities, and to our nation.”
