It's MLK centric because it's a movie about MLK, not about Selma. Bringing up Selma's importance in the Black Panthers has little to do with the story about MLK that the filmmakers were trying to tell. Because the movie was about MLK, not Selma.
You wanted a movie about Selma, just as many people wanted a different story in American Sniper or Foxcatcher. What sets this movie apart IMO is the question of "Did they tell the story that they chose to tell well?" I'd answer that with a resounding yes. (A sorta for American Sniper and a no for Foxcatcher.)
