Oh, this is good. They meant to get a plaque honoring James Earl Jones, to be used as part of a Martin Luther King celebration. But the Texas contractor who made the plaque instead used the name James Earl Ray, King's assassin.
"Thank you James Earl Ray for keeping the dream alive."
Indeed. Naturally there are all kinds of people accusing it of being done on purpose (because, hey, if it were for real, that'd be a pretty hard-hitting subtle sick joke). But of course they claim it was simply a typo.
"Whoops! I meant to type 'King', but 'Ray' was just one set of keys over on the keyboard.'
Uh huh. Yeah, and James Earl Ray is so much more famous than James Earl Jones, too.
Sheesh.
