Today is the federal holiday that honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He was born January 15, 1929. He was assassinated April 4, 1968, at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. He was just 39 years old. While Dr. King is primarily remembered as a civil rights leader, he also championed the cause of the poor and organized the Poor People's Campaign to address issues of economic justice. Dr. King was also a fierce critic of U.S. foreign policy and the Vietnam War. We play his "Beyond Vietnam" speech, which he delivered at New York City's Riverside Church on April 4, 1967, as well as his last speech, "I've Been to the Mountaintop," that he gave on April 3, 1968, the night before he was assassinated.

 Getty Images/cynthiaerivo/InstagramCynthia Erivo is "deeply hurt" by a fan-made poster of Wicked that covers her eyes, calling the photoshopped image "equal to people posting the question, ‘Is your ***** green?'"
Erivo, who stars alongside Ariana Grande in the film adaptation of the book and Broadway show set to release in November, plays Elphaba to Grande's Belinda. The Tony, Emmy and Grammy Award-winning actress posted the fan-made image to her Instagram stories Wednesday and wrote, "This is the wildest, most offensive thing I have seen." The image in question, however, seems to be a recreation of the film poster to make it more akin to the Broadway version, which shows Elphaba with her hat covering her eyes as Belinda whispers into her ear. Erivo wrote that it makes no difference to her, as she was still "deeply hurt" by the fan-made poster.
"The original poster is an ILLUSTRATION," she wrote, "I am a real life human being, who chose to look right down the barrel of the camera to you, the viewer, because without words we communicate with our eyes," she continued, explaining her choice in the film version of the poster to have her eyes exposed. "Our poster is an homage, not an imitation, to edit my face and hide my eyes is to erase me."
