As a typographer, graphic designer, signmaker and general image manipulator, I assure you, this is very possibly an accident. Freudian slip, if you will. Still, someone in the proofing dept should be shot.

Agree with both points. I mean, let's face it--Ray's name is much more closely associated with MLK than Jones is. All Jones and King have in common is that they're both black men. But when have you *ever* heard Ray's name without King being mentioned? I'd have to guess never. Add in the "James Earl" commonality and the stage is set for disaster. (I wonder if Tommy Lee Jones and Tommy Lee Bass have the same problem?)
It's a cognitively obvious cock-up. But <b>never, never, never</b> should have been delivered that way.
