Martin Luther King Jr. is and always has been one of my heroes. I know firsthand of the nature of racial hatred. My family has always believed people with darker skin color are inferior. If you'll pardon the pun, I guess this makes me the black sheep of the family. I wish that such a noble man who knew that the value of a person lay not in his or her skin color, gender, sexuality, or anything else but within that individual's heart would have achieved his dreams within his lifetime. Without him, things might have progressed to the point they are today, but it very well could have taken much longer. With him, maybe equality would truly reign today.
Still, his legacy has left a direct impact on my life. Living in southern California, I have the strange honor of being able to travel out to the "dreaded area" of South Central Los Angeles. There, on 103 Street sits a shopping center. Within it are a number of stores that carry great merchandise from clothing and electronics to food and drinks. Also within it is a statue of a large hand. Facing away from the street is the famous I have a dream speech. If you happen to live somewhere where you can reach Los Angeles county, you would do yourself a big favor going to read that speech. It'll change your heart for the better. I guarantee it.

PYT - Preety Young Thing This topic is for anyone to say how great of a leader he was and how he changed America big time and impacted millions of peoples lives.
I wish he was still here to help other people who need equal rights and also he can see Our First Black President I also thing he gave me the opportunity to dream and not just be judged by my skin color. Thanks Martin Luther king most people would get mad and fight back but instead he gave back love. Idk who he really is... a president, wasnt he??
