      Between 1964 and 1968 King was one of the key movers behind getting a Civil Rights Bill, Fair Housing, Voting Rights Bill, appointment of the first black cabinet secretary, the first back Supreme Court justice and much more done. When he died he was set to lead a march on Washington to farther the war on poverty to provide healthcare and jobs for the poor. Wisdom, never begs!

      @@justincase190 There's alot that could be "un-packed" in your comment. In short, however, consider this. Don't be fooled by this "black on black" crime; it has much to do with race. There's a larger scope and inherent systemic issues at play here. Also, Dr. King fully understood that by helping any one race, you thereby help all races. Dr. King's concerns, compassion and humanity were unlimited. Despite having a black President, Dr. King would undoubtedly realize (and be sadden by) that in 55 years, we, as a nation, in some ways, simply haven't evolved. He would be disappointed.....all of us should be disappointed.
