Martin Luther King is like a Founding Father -Venerated by nearly all Americans -Remembered selectively and often sanitized -Appropriated to make political points -Assumed to agree with whatever you currently think Besides Lincoln, do any other non-Founders have similar status?

Agreed. There's no one else. Lincoln and MLK are sui generis. Washington, Jefferson don't rank with them. Maybe Franklin.

And Hamilton. Especially now that his rapping career has taken off. (Kidding, kidding. It's the Federalist Papers + shaping the US economic system)
-
He's doing a tremendous job. People are recognizing him more and more.
