call me crazy but...i think malcom x and mlk ideas are related to x-men. think about it, Mageto(Malcom x) idea was that mutuats(blacks) should domnate the humans. And Pros.X{MLK} belived that mutuats and humans should live in peace.
I can't believe that my own race could do so much bad stuff. I read a book on MLK and found out that firefighters would spray very powerful water hoses at children who did the freedom marches that is terrible. Martin Luther King thank you so much for being part of the freedom marches and speaking out because you never know if we still didnt respect other people's rights I could maybe be one of those people doing that bad stuff. You have changed my life by changin other peoples life to change my
how dense am I, I heard this song once on the radio years ago, and I never got the name of it, or the signifagance of it. Listening to it that one time had such an affect on me that now that I'm grown up with a kid of my own, I sing the song to him as a lulaby, Now that I know who and what it's about, I love it that much more
I love this song. I sing this to my kids too. They ask me sometimes to 'sing sleep' and I will one day tell them about MLK (a bit young to understand at the mo). I also love this album - it's the one that got me into U2.
Leaders do tend to have tempers. I can't think of any who haven't. They also tend to get things done. It's a package deal. They are anxious and want things to happen. I don't look down on someone who made mistakes. What MLK did for millions of African Americans amazes me. Nothing should take away from this or any other tribute to him. This has been one of my favorite songs for over twenty years.
I was a child but remember MLK. Dr. King would be proud. I'd say most of or half of his dreams did come true. Like Bono says "May your dreams be realized" I think he would be happy.
But I doubt he would've been proud of Obama playing class warfare and encouraging hatred between races with social justice. MLK was about peace and love, not anger and treading upon others.
lets not portray mlk as a bad person. people need an icon for spirit to not give up. what he did wrong doesnt associate with what he did right. atleast he made a change nationally.

The media have always carefully portrayed King as a good Christian family man — the epitome of a man of God.
Yet, King had dozens of liaisons with prostitutes, White and Black, USED CHURCH MONEY to pay them and commonly beat them — all documented by the FBI and admitted by King associates.

Abernathy, R. (1989). And the Walls came tumbling Down. New York: Harper & Row
Moses killed a man, David slept with a woman and killed her husband to cover it up, Solomon had countless wives, Paul persecuted the early church and had a nasty temper, Abraham Lincoln probably contracted syphillis (not from his wife), and Franklin Roosevelt had multiple affairs.
Romans tells us that "None are righteous. Not one."
Only recently has it been revealed that Martin Luther King PLAGIARIZED large sections of his DOCTORAL THESIS.
Boston University formed a committee to
determine the extent of KING'S PLAGIARISM. It determined that 45 percent of the first part and 21 percent of the second part were taken from other authors.

what a great song, and a prolific man. i just had this song in my head all day- of course, it's his holiday. just a beautiful video too, and an inspiration to never give up!
strange. it feels like the words are being sung to me as if I was of importance. and MLK is showing me something new through this video. its just so compelling to me.
