Boondocks: Return of the King



Return of the King was the controversial 9th episode of The Boondocks, which debuted on Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday, (January 15) 2006, on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. The episode depicts a hypothetical scenario in which Martin Luther King, Jr. (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) survives his assassination at the Lorraine Motel on April 4, 1968. In the episode, King goes into a 32-year long coma. King awakens to find himself alienated with modern black culture and his steady, sincere demeanor made awkward by modern forms of mass media. His popularity diminishes significantly due to his controversial opinions after 9/11.
