I remember Michael Moore talking about how he felt when he was a kid, hanging out with a bunch of unionized detroit auto workers, and how they roared with approval when the radio announced King’s assassination.

The way I heard him tell it (on the chapo podcast) was he was walking out of church when that happened, too. Kind of a morbid and disgusting irony to celebrating his death amongst your group of “good church-going people” too
