MARTIN LUTHER KING NOW IN FORTNITE!!! How MLK's Revolutionary Politics and Legacy have been ERASED
Martin Luther King has now entered the world of Fortnite. This is not a joke.
Tbf, his inclusion comes as part of a digital museum in the game aimed at teaching younger people about the Civil Rights movement. But to me it points to a wider probelm - The sanitisiation of Martin Luther King. He was largely anti-capitalist and scathingly critical of the US war in Vietnam but is now used as a type of apolitical figure to promote a liberal view of civil rights.
