Today, history remembers MLK as a great man. There are parades in his honor, workers are given a day off. Rosa Parks is another peaceful pioneer credited with bringing strides forward.

Malcolm X and others are already fading from memory.

I believe that was the OP's point: we remember a sanitized version of the myth of MLK that flatters modern sensibilities, while ignoring Malcom X because we don't like to acknowledge he played an equally important role in bringing about change.

Remembrance does not imply causation

You should get that checked out.

Ask any kid “ Who was MLK?”

Then ask “Who was Malcolm X?”

You’ll see.
