Ahhh... Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., one of the most important people in the history of America, for his issues with equal rights, integration, and freedom. Of course, we all know that he dealt mostly with the freedom rights of African-Americans, but many people do not know he also fought for other minorities and religious groups that were not treated fairly. He changed the world, no doubt about it.
So ultimately- King Still King?
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Definitely.
Just think- if MLK was born exactly one year later, the world might be an entirely different place right now. One year younger means one more year until college, which means he may have chosen a different path, like science or medicine instead of politics and civil rights. Which means--Possibly no integration. Think about it. I'm not saying it was entirely luck, just that he chose a good time to challenge the world's views at the time.
Interesting Fact- Martin Luther King Jr. led a march in 1966 in Marquette Park, which is literally a block away from my house.
