- A Change Is Gonna Come: Bloggers "Google Bomb" Veiled Hate Site Barack, Lauren Internet Online Searching Racial Factors Web Sites Information Retrieval Search Strategies Deception Robustness (Statistics) Social Bias Keying in the search term "Martin Luther King" on Google would result in retrieving martinlutherking.com as the topmost hit.

This site, which is owned by Don Black, a former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, references King as a corrupt Communist under the control of a Marxist Jewish conspiracy. To push this site down in the search results and to post links to legitimate King sites, educational bloggers and others have joined a "Google bombing" campaign. This article describes the efforts made by educators for the "Google bombing" campaign.
