Not really, but what benefit is there? The idea and vision of Martin Luther King is bigger than who he was. He was able to effect a positive change, and yes he also may have sinned as we all do.
Same can be said for George Washington, but there's a movement to demonize him for his human flaws and common practices of his time.

Just because someone is anti-Vietnam War doesn't make them pro-Viet Cong.
Didn't he give a pretty controversial speech that many at the time saw as support for Ho Chi Minh and the Viet Cong?

Why do we now discredit Columbus, Washington, Lee, among others for things that we're common at the time despite their significant contributions to society? Why do we ignore others and their character flaws? Why is one ok and the other is not? If you want to be accurate you show both sides and let the people make their own judgement. However, we are told to not be 100% honest and teach the negatives on some people and only the positives on others?

At the time the audience saw could only see it as pro-south or pro-north.
It was anti-war.

That’s a byproduct of balance.

Because the current SJW academia social media blue check mark KultureSmog is all about vapid Marxist narrative and emotional Infantilism. There is no room for human complexity - only the Oppressor/Oppressed narrative.

I hope this is rhetorical, because we all know the honest answer to this.

Society and what is socially acceptable has changed more since Washington than it has since MLK obviously. It's not fair to judge based on what was socially acceptable at the time vs what is now. Sadly owning slaves was accepted in society at the time. However, what MLK did was never at any point considered socially acceptable. It is all deplorable by any standards but if you are going to compare then the whole picture needs to be accounted for.

"Controversial" maybe at the time. If that speech had been given after Tet, it wouldn't have been controversial at all.

Very true. It was not socially acceptable for black Americans to sit at the same counters, use the same bathrooms, sit in the same seats....
