Seeing is there is no evidence the man changed his name to Martin, and it well documented he was given the name Michael at birth, why does this page have him listed as Martin Luther King? — Preceding unsigned comment added by WebMachiavelli (talk • contribs) 15:25, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted the term "color-blind" society because this term is not only misleading, but it is a code word for a political philosophy that it seems unlikely that Martin Luther King would have supported. The words "not judged by the color of your skin, but by the content of your character" does not mean the same thing as "color blind" (i.e. unable to see color).

Worse is that the phrase "colorblind society" is almost always used today in a political context in opposition to affirmative action, or hate crime laws. It seems at least questionable that Dr. King would have agreed with the people who are now using this phrase.

This phrase is at best misleading, and at worse an attempt to support a political agenda. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Physteacher (talk • contribs) 17:02, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In the first paragraph of the 'Legacy' section, the following line:

'...on the basis of race, religion, or national origin (later expnded to include sex, familial status, and disability).'

should be changed to become:

'...on the basis of race, religion, or national origin (later expanded to include sex, familial status, and disability).'

Thank you.
