Critics hit state choice of Mike Huckabee as M.L. King Day speaker
BY Max Brantley ON January 8, 202210:01 am
Criticism has erupted about the Arkansas Martin Luther King Commission’s choice of former Governor Mike Huckabee to speak at an invitation-only prayer breakfast that is part of the Jan. 17 observance of MLK Day by the state commission. Comments began on social media yesterday and they were soon followed by a note to me from Little Rock activist Dr. Anika Whitfield. Then came a letter from the Arkansas Democratic Black Caucus, which said: Arkansas is very fortunate to have a Martin Luther King, Jr. Commission. At its best, this taxpayer-supported state agency is empowered to educate all Arkansans by amplifying the life and legacy of a great American minister and activist who helped advance the progress of racial equity in our country. https://arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/2022/01/08/critics-hit-state-choice-of-mike-huckabee-as-m-l-king-day-speaker
