TBMs LOVE MLK.
Of course, back when he was alive it was standard TBM
conventional wisdom to despise MLK. First off, he was a knee-
grow who was a descendant of Cain and bore the CURSE from God.
And, second of all, he was a liberal.
Our beloved late prophet, even Ezra Taft Benson had this to say
about MLK a year after his assassination:
May 1, 1969 - Apostle Ezra Taft Benson writes to LDS Hotel-
magnate J. Willard Marriott, "The kindest thing that could be
said about Martin Luther King is that he was an effective
Communist tool. Personally, I think he was more than that."
Then, of course, there's the famous 23 Jan. 1964 letter from
Apostle Delbert L. Stapley to George Romney (father of Mitt,
and then governor of Michigan) where he points out that the
things Martin Luther King fought for did not "accord with the
expressions of the Prophet Joseph Smith."

August 27, 2954, by Mark E. Petersen where he says that the Lord
is against racial integration--the very thing Martin Luther King
was fighting for.
