As the day is right around the corner that dedicates itself to celebrate a fine man's birthday, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The accomplishments this one man made for mankind is very remarkable to look back at what they are and how he sacrificed himself in order to bring the peace to the communities around the nation that he was fighting for so much. Since the nation realized how much impact his speeches, marches, and organizations they assigned his birthday as a national holiday to pay your dues to the man that stood for what he believed in by doing it the right way, non-violence. But the question that remains is if Dr. King still remains "King" in this new era of people that only knows of him through text books and movies?
From I see, and probably from what others see as well, not many people, mainly African Americans appreciate what all Dr. King devoted his life for and finally got it. If Dr. King were here today to witness all of the black on black crime that is happening and all the chaos that is occurring within the black neighborhoods amongst each other, he would be disgusted. But to be honest with you, he probably couldn't even change these problems between these neighborhoods full of minorities in them. They have became so immune to these actions and they believe violence and crime is the only way to survive since the world isn't offering them anything else. So I think that Dr. King wouldn't be King in this generation... money is the King now a days, since anybody does anything for it, and that is how it is.
