Not nice word.
So in the section Early life and education under title Adolescence in the fourth paragraph, it has a not so nice word and I would like whoever wrote it to consider that children may read this site to learn about this great influential man, it should be removed or replaced with something more nice. Thank you. 2601:204:F47F:13D0:CA31:664D:B0F4:A704 (talk) 01:43, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

2601:204:F47F:13D0:CA31:664D:B0F4:A704 (talk) 01:57, 7 February 2025 (UTC) Please remove the mean word in the section Adolescence, It should read, He was called out as something rude by the bus driver.
- He was, and it's important for readers to know what kinds of things white adults (in this case a bus driver) would say to a young Black kid. We are not censored. Drmies (talk) 02:08, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 27 February 2025 (Fix Hyperlink to Correct Meaning of Scapegoat)
{{edit semi-protected|Martin Luther King Jr.|answered=yes}}
In the fourth paragraph of the intro, "scapegoat" is incorrectly hyperlinked to the religious meaning. Instead, it should be hyperlinked to the social-psychological meaning of the word. These use cases of "scapegoat" have separate Wikipedia articles. The correct article to hyperlink is the following:

Getting this to Featured Article
What should we be doing, we can start with a peer review but does anyone have any ideas? Needless to say, this article is quite important for those learning about segregation, the treatment of black people and the actual MLK Jr., not just the one that the media portarys him to be.

MLK JR.
what is the way he died? 142.202.125.228 (talk) 18:10, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
