MLK was about equality of all people and justice given to people who were treated horribly by the ugly ignorance of racism. He acted in the love of Jesus Christ who though he was spit at beaten and put in prison, he did not fight with violence but with love and peace. He, unlike Christ was only a man. He was on the side of righteousness and prevailed. Now had it not been for his contributions the tremendous amounts of contributions black people have made to this country from the first street lights, to the first toilets, multiple uses of peanuts, amazing medical contributions and the blue print of Washington DC itself to name a few. Not to mention the slave labor, cowboys and war heroes who have done an incredible service not just to black people but for all people who live in the now free USA. There are many statues of people who only intended to do for their own race. Yet MLK was not one of them. So I ask you, do you really believe that your question was as good or intellectually sound as you originally thought?
