WWMLKD(WT): what would MLK do (with Twitter)?

Heraty Law client Baratunde Thurston (of The Onion, Jack & Jill Politics, and PopSci’s Future Of on the Science Channel) wrote a powerful essay for Vanity Fair about how Martin Luther King, Jr., would use Twitter.

Baratunde posits that MLK would converse with fellow activists, thinkers, and average citizens of his time; update followers on his whereabouts and activities; join in hashtag memes; face criticism from his contemporaries; expose some of his private struggles and frustrations; criticize governments for unjust policies; and he’d be a leader who would follow those who joined him in the struggle.
