Type in Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., on Google and one of the top search results is a White-supremacist run Web site called martinlutherking.org. The site has been up for at least ten years, claiming that King was a “philanderer, a drunk, a liar, a plagiarist, and a cheater,” according to the Atlanta Constitution-Journal. Don Black, the leader of the site, says he wants to “reach high school students who are forced to parrot the liberal party line about King being a great leader.”
