There is no doubt that Dr. Martin Luther King was a great man. No one is questioning what he did for us, and when I say us I am not just talking about the African American people, he helped everyone in some sort of way. But is he still “the king”?... I honestly do not think he is still “the king.” It is not because I am belittling what he did because that is not the case at all. But there are many people In this world that do not even know who he is, and today’s youth does not make it any better because not only do they not know who he is or what he did, but of course there are some individuals that are curious and are interested in knowing facts about Dr. Martin Luther King but there are those who don’t even care to know what he did to help the people back in the day even though him helping them ultimately opened doors for them to be whatever they want to be in life. Many of todays youth look up to the wrong people. Instead of wanting to know about Dr. Martin Luther King, they want to know when Gucci Mane and Lil Wayne are getting out of jail and when are they coming out with a new mixtape. It is sad that many children today can recite every word in a song but they don’t even know what Dr. king’s most famous speech was.
