There are people with Confederate flags who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 and more people calling the insurrection an act of patriotism," Jonathan Eig, author of "King: A Life," tells Salon's Chauncey DeVega. "The real meaning of the King holiday is to remind us of the potential of this country to be one of justice and equality and brotherhood and nonviolence. If all we are doing is talking about King's dream, then we are missing much of the point."
