Northwestern University over in Evanston, Illinois, decided to honor Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. day by offering a special commemorative dinner consisting of collard greens, cornbread, and fried chicken. I’d love to see the meeting that set that up. “Hey Flo, this is Henry Bienen, president of the university. You know with Martin Luther King Day coming up and shit, I thought it would be neat to have a traditional “colored” dinner. Nothing extravagant mind you, just some simple Negro food”. “Fried chicken, cornbread and such, and you might want to throw in some watermelon while you’re at it”.

Fuck, talk about not getting it. And you know what’s so fucked up about this whole deal? The university probably thought they were doing something really cool by serving a stereotypical Black meal. They actually thought that serving up fried chicken would honor the memory and mission of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
