Comments on: Two Paths for the King Center http://www.bloglanta.com/archives/188 For fans of everything ITP Tue, 07 Oct 2008 06:19:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Karen Peralta http://www.bloglanta.com/archives/188#comment-1613 Karen Peralta Mon, 17 Dec 2007 22:11:35 +0000 http://www.bloglanta.com/archives/188#comment-1613 Dear Anybody, Hey, does anyone know what’s up with the King Center website? Their main website is awfully flawed, and has been so for quite some time. Their latest annual progress report as published on the website is for 2001-2002, and a great many of their links are dead. I tried writing their information and webmaster emails, and both were returned. I then tried writing their donations email, and it was not returned, but it was never answered. I know Coretta Scott King, the King Center founder, died in 2006, and at least two of their children were supposed to be on the Board of Directors of the King Center, so somebody real should be taking better care of their website. But they aren’t. They have more than a dozen dead links and several dead email addresse also. This is not good. Help them, somebody, please. I tried to, and couldn’t.

The exhibit was astonishing, and truly worth seeing. The King Center itself, however, made me sad. Everything about it was run down and obviously not taken care of. The King Center today is not being effective at fulfilling any goal, and some kind of change needs to be made at the way it's currently being run if it's going to start achieving any of these possible goals in the future.
