Should I include the word "negro" in my MLK blog post?

11. For the benefit of all mankind, do not include the word negro in your caption.

You have cool job. Avoid bullshit. There is nothing wrong with the word negro, especially in this context. But save yourself time and energy by not trying to be too thought provoking and controversial. Do your boss a favor and just move on and leave her/him out of it. Select a different story and pretend you never saw this article.

If you only have room for the caption, without an opportunity to provide context or explanation, skip the negro caption.
If you do have room to provide context and explanation, then make up your own caption, and in the explanation say "This originally ran in 1965 with the caption '...five negro ghettos...' ".

Wait I changed my mind.

Run the original caption. We shouldn't hide from the vocabulary of the past. The truth will set us free. Anybody who complains will look a little deeper and it may actually encourage some people to read or listen to the original works of Dr. King.

I like it with the "five negro ghettos" in the title.
Go for it!
