Today we remember one of the most significant Americans in our history, a man who believed in equality for all races, genders, and relegions. At the age of thirty-five, Martin Luther King, Jr., was the youngest man to have received the Nobel Peace Prize. At the age of 39 was assasinated in Memphis, Tennessee. A truly great American who arguably had the biggest impact on the civil right movement in the late 60's.
Alot of people take for granted the freedoms that we have, thanks to people like Martin luther king jr.
His name and message will live on forever.

what if that man was not killed?

I think he would have moved millions and made huge contributions towards equality

May his unsullied memory live on. He's far from just an American icon, though; his personal legacy is similar to that of Mohatma Ghandis in terms of it being a WORLDWIDE icon of humanity and hope.

I seriously doubt it, but the direction that some of his peers have taken the Civil Rights movement in NO way diminishes his accomplishments or the gravity of his message.

King's legacy stands on it's own and always will.

Agreed 100% I love seeing the BIG NEWS companies are talking about the BOONDOCKS as though they did something wrong...

That needed to be said!
