Tomorrow is the celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr
Tomorrow we celebrate the life and works of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. One of the great activists of the 20th Century and honored with a statue on Westminster Abbey.
His actions greatly contributed and returning Blacks to equality in America. Though I don't agree with everything he said and did, there is no doubt the world is better off with him in it.

He gets me out of school, so he's good in my book.
With all seriousness though, he was a great man. Sincere in his beliefs and firm in them. A man of God as well.

What's funny is that the day after is Robert E. Lee's birthday, on the 19th. And it's celebrated here in the South in many states.
Both of them were great men and achieved a lifetime of meaning. King's message of non-violent social progression is something that will be forever remembered. It's something that Malcolm X certainly failed to grasp until later in his life.

Yeah, pretty much. Racism is pretty much a dead issue in America. Sexism has mostly been destroyed too, with only a few lingering pockets being beaten into submission. Homosexuals, though, still have a bit of the way to go though.

Perfect reason not to celebrate the contributions of a man who championed the cause of freedom.
"Every idea is an incitement. It offers itself for belief and if believed it is acted on unless some other belief outweighs it or some failure of energy stifles the movement at its birth. The only difference between the expression of an opinion and an incitement in the narrower sense is the speaker's enthusiasm for the result. Eloquence may set fire to reason." -Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.

He was definitely a great man, liberties as citizens of U.S. Blacks are enjoying are a result of his undaunted struggle for their rights.Hats off.
"I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which can make itself appeal to every age. I have studied him - the wonderful man and in my opinion far from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Saviour of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness: I have prophesied about the faith of Muhammad that it would be acceptable to the Europe of tomorrow as it is beginning to be acceptable to the Europe of today."

King made great strides in civil rights, but racism is far from dead. My sister lives in birmingham and I went to see her, all I can say is that segregation is alive and well they don't *officially* prevent people from segregating, but the neighborhoods, the stores, the parts of towns all pretty segregated. . . . we still have a ways to go.
The exclusion would be this very tasty barbeque place in birmingham that wasn't segregated. . . .

King was a good man who wanted equality for black Americans, not to be treated worse or to be given special favors. I admire him a lot and he should make anyone proud to be called an American.

Re: Tomorrow is the celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr
I'm hearing the president is doing just that.
Peaceful agreement and government by consent are possible only on the basis of ideas common to all parties; and these ideas must spring from habit and from history. Once reason is introduced, every man, every class, every nation becomes a law unto itself; and the only right which reason understands is the right of the stronger. Reason formulates universal principles and is therefore intolerant: there can be only one rational society, one rational nation, ultimately one rational man. Decisions between rival reasons can be made only by force.
