yea martin king did alot for us.. he made changes that were thought to be impossible. great man he was..
KELLYYY
Yeah, may he R.I.P. He changed a lot of things. If it wasn't for him, a lot of racism between the whites and blacks would still be happening.

i hope to be the next Martin Luthor King. i'm white, and i still see him as my greatest hero. he tought me that i am not free until everyone is free, and that violence only causes more violence. R.I.P. Dr. King.
racoons > you

to be fair, he didnt say we shouldnt celebrate martin luther king, just no this 'death-day'. i agree, i think the birthday is more appropriate

he's been my hero since i was about 7

His speech didn't change anything. It was the tireless effort behind the scene by himself, the campaigners, lobbyists and most importantly the American people that changed everything. Damn good speech though.
Today is also the day for Kurt Cobain, as can be seen in Kurt Cobain RIP below. Check it out, the ball stopped rolling at 4 AM last night.

Dr.King was a great man. He did a lot for this country....may he R.I.P.

It's so awful how his family is mooching off of his money, and demanding respect for MLK jr.'s actions.
