    I was young when he was assassinated, so his legacy was not in my school books, but what a great man and what has become of his premature demise (well not fully, but good progress).

    MBaggese:

    I think in a way, MLKjr is one of those figures who probably would have been a somewhat historic figure, but in dying as he did, became even bigger than he ever could have been. I totally agree with you MBag that society may not quite be there yet, but there has been so much progress made. I think it will take a couple more generations to really see where things settle out. Once the generation that lived it and the generation that was born into it have passed, it will be a fairly good judge of where things are. Regardless, I enjoy hearing inspirational things so I thought I'd share it. Happy Thursday!
