Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr and the environmental movement
Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr did not address the Ecosystem in any way, as he is proposed to have in the following quote by earthday.org:
“He died before the
modern environmental movement, but a growing body of research around pollution
and health shows that his belief about segregation hurting everyone extends to
the environment as well….”
It is fallacious to extend such assumptions about Dr King. When some church group, social justice group, University or organization bids the notion that Dr King cared about the environment, it is a fiction. We mustn’t put words on the mouth of Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tzu, Mao Zedong, Pancho Villa (Doroteo Arango), Mahatma Gandhi, Krishna or Dr King. These would be called apocryphal and thus not fit into the truth of those traditions.
