Written by Anthony L. Hall
MLK Day 2026

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… Read more.
