0 I used to rule the world...

It's been nearly 45 years since King's assassination and I'm not going to yesterday. 45 years is a long time and his death doesn't hurt anymore. What he fought for, however, still does. MLK Jr. was one of several leaders of the civil rights movement. He protested peacefully and ask for everyone else to as well along with loving your enemy. Isn't it funny, that a man who fought against violence and taking what you want was taken from this world by an angry man with a sniper rifle?

This great man was filled by a small bullet which, in any other situation, would have rendered his point obsolete, wrong. However, it seemed as if his death sent his message to a roaring and crashing crescendo. It's sad to think that there are kids who don't even now who he is. These are elementary school children who don't know why we get the third Monday in January off. It's sad, but unsurprising considering our current society.

Today, it is unheard of, peace. Well, that's not fair of me to say. It's heard of and usually ends tragically. Today, you see peaceful protest turn into police rallys.

Once upon a time, King ruled. He was an example of hard work and peacefulness and love. But today, he doesn't even receive a passing thought. He has become another forgotten figure of history. I wouldn't be able to say this before but I think it's safe to say now that King is no longer kit.
