And the kid didn’t just decide to portray the civil rights leader, he was assigned to play Martin Luther King in a school project! But one teacher found his costume offensive because it included dark makeup on the boy’s face. From The Daily News (emphasis mine): Controversy erupted at a Colorado elementary school after a student arrived in blackface as part of a Martin Luther King Jr. costume for a class project. Each student in the class had been assigned a historical figure to dress up as for “wax museum day” at the school, the station reported. Sean’s mother, Michelle King-Roca, told Denver’s 7News her son was really excited about the project. After complaints from a faculty member that took issue with the blackface, the principal asked Sean to remove the face paint or leave the school. Sean’s parents, who had come to school that day to watch the presentations, decided to take him home.
