As lots of folks have pointed out, the first Google entry for Martin Luther King is a racist, slanderous site run by a white supremacy organization. Tom Hoffman points out there’s a solution here. Time for a good old-fashioned Google bomb.
Tom’s got the HTML code on his page. Grab it (I added the last link, since it’s currently second on Google and run by Stanford U.), paste it, and let’s fix the problem ourselves. It’ll give us one less obvious example of why it’s important to check your sources on the internet, but it’ll give us a better story to tell about how the internet can be self-correcting sometimes too.
