MLK Day in MAGA’s Jim Crow 2.0 America

Monday, January 19, 2026 at 10:13 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

On MLK Day, Donald Trump isn’t honoring MLK’s legacy; he’s dismantling it. From scrubbing MLK Day and Juneteenth from the National Park Service calendar, to whitewashing American history under an Orwellian “sanity” order, to weaponizing DEI bans as grievance-driven affirmative action for Whites, Project 2025 amounts to a full-scale rollback of civil rights.

iPINIONS damns this as regression, not remembrance. It’s a warning about how quickly the moral arc bends when power decides history is negotiable.
