Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Failures | Vann R. Newkirk II
Summary
It's Martin Luther King Jr. Day and The Daily Show honors this civil rights icon's legacy. Host Trevor Noah and correspondent, Roy Wood Jr, discuss the many ways Americans misrepresent what King stood for and guest host, Leslie Jones, goes into the streets of New York City to find out how white folks celebrate the holiday. Also, Trevor sits with journalist, Vann R. Newkirk II, to discuss how his piece in The Atlantic honors King's legacy and provides context on where he stood politically when he was alive.
