King Still King?

That is a very hard question. It kind of seems rude to extent to even ask such a question. Yet, this question is reasonable and has probably been asked thousands of times since The King. MLK changed almost everything in this world by fighting to eliminate discrimination and segregation. Thanks to his determination and fight, we no longer live in a world where the color of your skin will determine the education you receive, the movie theaters you attend, the washrooms you use, and the friends you make. The question now is if what MLK did still bigger than current issues. My answer? Yes. Yes I still believe that King is still the King. Without the results of MLK's battle, none of the current issues would be as big of an issue as there are now. For example, if we were all still segregated, the issue of gay marriage would not be as big of an issue as our separation because laws would be different. What MLK did was literally change the world. By defeating discrimination, he forced the world to look at everyone as an equal. Without equality, many other issues would not be brought up, ideas would be shot down, TV shows and music would all be different. So, in conclusion, I think you Mr. King, for you have made it possible for us to focus on the important things by eliminating such a petty issue.
