Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the most influential people of the 20th century. He was a major leader in black rights and was one of the big reasons that they have been as widely accepted today. He is a man who was known for many great deeds. It has been a number of decades since he was shot and he will always be remembered, but it is important. Is he still a king now?
Well, I believe he is. He affected many people during his time and still affects people today. The fact that we have a black president now is even more amazing. From his time to now we have grown very fast. Faster then most people thought we would.
Most people from his generation never even thought they would be a live for a black president and now we have one that one his presidential election very easily. To appreciate King's legacy we have a national holiday for him. A time for people to remember what he has done for black people around our nation. To say that we do not still appreciate him wouldn't make sense. Many of the things in our lives everyday were changed because of him. He did not only change America for one group, he changed it for everyone.
