If we used Thomas Edison, we could hook him up to an AC generator and it would be a perpetual motion machine.
if you used someone like MLK Jr. the power would turn off the second we started being nice to black people. But hook Edison up to a Westinghouse AC Generator and the situation itself will light the world for all eternity.

Well, maybe a little while after that, if their Letter from Birmingham Jail is still their position. A notable part is about how people just being polite moderates doesn't cut it:
"Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."
Curious why you say that? Edison is one of the greatest pieces of shit in inventor history. He has stolen more ideas and put so many small inventors out of business it would boggle your mind. I think he would be salivating at the current state of affairs for electricity and copyright law.
Edison was a huge proponent of DC power, so hooking him up to an AC device would endlessly annoy him.
Exactly this.
