And Jefferson owned slaves and Jack Kennedy was a womanizer , maybe Harriet Tubman was a $#@!? Did MLK ever get some on the side or did Eleanor R. really write all those clever quotes herself?
Let it go. Realize that the version of history we reveal today probably isn't quite true either and recognize what was accomplished without trying to canonize the person accomplishing it. Most historical figures will tend to be power seekers with lots of wrong doing in their path.
In other words grade schools of America: $#@!s can and have done important things. If there is any connection between famous deeds and character it is probably a negative one. DON'T worship other people! Period!
