When he got out of prison, he didn't commit any crimes. He was rehabilitated.

Indeed, he associated with fanatics. Then, when he learned they were fanatical themselves, he turned on them.

I already mentioned earlier in the thread that he eventually amended his views about white people.

Each turning point in his life was a lesson of honesty. Even if I didn't agree with everything he said, he was still a principled individual who deserves more respect as an activist than King.
