The info on www.martinkutherking.org
has been updated by different members
of the blog.
Their have been additional posts by
other people but the original sources
used date back the 80’s.
4. Relevance
Much of the website is not relevant to
any topics (adds for rap lyrics, articles
bashing MLK, articles portraying the
towards white people)
Much of the information is lude,
discussing MLK sex life and prostitutes
I would not feel comfortable using this
website as citation

with extremely biased views
There is no contact information or even
a title author for the majority of the
articles

unprofessional sources
The language and tone is extremely
biased and in some cases extremely
hateful

MLK in some points and promote hatred
in other points
The information is very propaganda
based
The points of views are very impartial
and biased
