Antwain Jordan first learned about the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in elementary school.
He recalls it as the stereotypical version: The great civil rights leader, loved and admired by all, has a dream, and is assassinated for it.
It wasn’t until Jordan studied black history in college that he learned the actual King was much more complex.
In his time, the Baptist preacher was reviled as much as he was loved. He used the language of the Bible to attack not only racism, but the excesses of capitalism and militarism. He didn’t believe the integration he sought would be a panacea for black communities. He promoted black self-empowerment.

National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis plans 'transformative' expansion and renovation
Taking a cue from the title of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s final book, "Where Do We Go from Here?," National Civil Rights Museum officials Tuesday announced an ambitious and "transformative" multimillion dollar renovation and expansion of its property on the west side of Mulberry Street, across from the main "Lorraine Motel" museum building and the preserved balcony where King was assassinated on April 4, 1968.
Architect Juan Self, who has been involved in every phase of the museum's design since its opening in 1991, said the expanded exhibit space and enhanced "civic plaza" aspect of its redesigned park would maintain the museum's status as "a place for truth-telling… no matter how uncomfortable," at a time when some politicians and pundits want to discourage frank discussions about the country's racial heritage.
Dr. Russell T. Wigginton Jr., museum president, called the project "a transformative moment" in the history of an institution that has attempted to honor King's legacy by being "a catalyst for social change."
