In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day yesterday, I’m posting the link to Time magazine’s archive of articles and covers about the civil rights leader. The early articles’ text captures the anger of those tumultuous times, both of blacks and of whites. Then compare those articles with the Time 100 retrospective of King, published in 1998.
