Anti-MLK Truck Sparks Outrage

Deon Dixon saw a truck with the words “In Loving Memory of James Earl Ray” written on its back, a Confederate flag flying, and what appeared to be a black mannequin hanging off the back drive through Johnstown, Pennsylvania. A photo of the truck went viral on Facebook Monday and Tuesday. Dixon, who is black, says he doesn’t know how he should explain what he saw to his kids, and says instances like this also make him worry for his kids’ safety. “It’s to the point where now I can’t really say that I like my sons going out of the house,” he said. “I can’t just tell you that the experience is messed up. You’re gonna go through it, and you’re gonna learn that way.”
