Martin Luther King Jr. Facebook Page Defaced
A page which appears to be run by The King Center has been vandalized. Rather than posting racist comments on the wall of the Facebook Page, the vandals have decided to post photos instead. At the time of this writing, the photos of the page has been overrun with racist words and disturbing imagery.
It’s not clear if this page is truly owned and operated by The King Center, but the page has over 827 thousand Likes and shows up as the first result in Facebook search. Official or not, the page is getting attention and something needs to be done.
The photos seem to have been uploaded by a small group and are showing up in the Photos tab as well as in the sidebar. Definitely a reminder that we don’t live in a post-racial America and highlights the importance of guarding your social media outposts.
