Published



Martin Luther King III asked President-elect Donald Trump to unify the United States, specifically calling on the incoming president to talk to “everybody” on both sides of the political aisle. 

Trump’s inauguration on Monday will also fall on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the day the nation reflects and honors the civil rights advocate. Ahead of Trump’s speech for the inauguration, King described how the president-elect has claimed to want to create “some form of unity” in the country, to which he argued that Trump needs to be “in dialogue” with everyone, even if it means only making some people content with how he intends to unify the country.
