Happy MLK Day!

[cruzg24]

I just wanted to make this thread because of this mans great achievements. He preached non-violent resistance at a time when it was difficult to not have anger or hatred towards people who didnt want anything to do with you because of the color of your skin. A who spoke so eloquently for the civil rights of all and human rights which werent what they are today. Not only did he fight against racial discrimination, but he also fought for appropriate working wages for all which is something anyone can relate to.

Happy MLK Day.

while i understand this is sarcasm, the amount of kids our age who actually say this truthfully is disgusting.

most kids in my school and shit have seriously said "yeah i know Martin Luther King Jr, he said a speech one time or something about slavery"


makes me sick.

It'll only get worse as the years go by
I think I'll cry if I ever see someone that has absolutely no idea who MLK is

One of the worst parts about it...is that he's the most well known out of the leaders of the 60s, and the knowledge of him continues to fade in the minds of the youth by the year.
most of the people in my grade dont know who Malcolm X is either, not one bit.

You guys are overreacting, everyone knows who Martin Luther King was.

 

[Pugz]

schools, businesses, tv channels, and famous people will never stop talking about him, his family, and everything hes done for this country. kids of the future will know who he is. my niece and nephew are in KG and they already learned a little about him. the country will always know who he was and what hes done. stop overreacting, please.

im really not. im serious when i say that alot of people don't truly know what he did.

 

[Pugz]

then thats just your area. thats your school systems lack of good teaching. not the country as a whole.

 

[getyappcrnredy24]

nonetheless, how many kids grow up and learn about Malcolm and then the Panthers etc. when they learn about MLK?

 

[Yankees2772]

Why is it that important to know about them?
