Tomorrow, Monday, January 17, 2011 is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in the USA. What does King Day mean to you? Personally I feel King belongs on Mt. Rushmore (although King is not a president). That is how large his positive contribution to American society has been. Your view? Experiences?
Dr. Martin Luther King-dom topic
Fascinating, a great orator (his Dream speech always gives me the shivers!). Like many philanthropic activist historical personalities, he had feet of clay, which is not surprising, and some of his personal views and choices I do not share.
That King ironically died violently despite his pacifism makes his memory both tragic and heroic.
His wife, Coretta Scott King, had the patience to deal with her husband's, er, quirks. Not something I would do. But all in all, his courage and resilience to dare to dream made him an inspirational star.
