I would have to agree with you Hard_Wired. I read the speech on paper a long time ago and thought about that. I don't think it was his beliefs in equality that got him killed, but his beliefs in peace. Such an influential person speaking directly against a matter that the government is involved in was probably his undoing. A lot of people get the misconception that Martin Luther King Junior was only about civil rights for blacks. He was about civil rights for everyone, and was a believer in peace, being influenced by the likes of Gandhi. And on that note, I'll leave you with a quote from Rage Against the Machines song, "Wake up". |
