Martin Luther King Jr. supported affirmative action despite posthumous misrepresentation.

Evidence

“Martin Luther King, in fact, supported the concept of affirmative action,” she said. “Those who suggest he did not support affirmative action are misrepresenting his beliefs and his life’s work.” — Ibram X. Kendi, Stamped from the Beginning, 1156

Categorization

• XREF: Echoes the reader’s test case: here ideas (the misrepresentation of King) are fabricated to justify policy (ending affirmative action) — supports rather than challenges Kendi’s inversion.
