This article examines how Martin Luther King, Jr. is remembered and represented by journalists in Ghana, South Africa, and Mexico, looking at coverage of 'critical discourse moments' from King's life and legacy (1963-2016). I argue that representations of King vary in terms of local resonance-how well foreign figures or events align with local myths, values, and expectations-and global salience-the perceived world historical importance of a past figure or event. I then propose a new typology of global memory reception
