The Racial Controversy Surrounding the Assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. The impact of Martin Luther King, Jr. today is no doubt revered. He is commonly called the “Father of Civil Rights,” and is looked upon as a national icon, in an almost presidential-type light. His achievements have not only begat a national holiday for his birthday, but also helped lead to the creation of Black History Month. However, his accomplishments were not so regaled in his own time. In fact

Epistemology of Conspiracy Theories: Section 1 TSCADS: Above the Conspiracy Theory Label There exists a hierarchy of “knowing” in societies, with elites who know more than the common people. Some argue that social cohesion and order depends on the maintenance of noble lies. This prompts the question of whether democratic forms of government can coexist with secrecy, or whether there is a fundamental confliction.

Well, "The long-running “birther” controversy–a rather bizarre conspiracy theory which holds that President Obama was not born in the United States–refuses to go away, kept alive by business celebrity Donald Trump and other assorted critics," (UCF Today, David Houghton).
