I'm glad they gave him a holiday. Hell there's holidays dedicated to alot of white dudes. When I was young and stupid I thought that it was unfair that my teacher made my class memorize the "I have a dream" speech. I was kind of a punk ass racist back then. It took me getting older to understand that MLK wanted everyone to get along no matter what their race, religion, etc. Too bad that some ignorant redneck had to murder him and make him a martyr in order for his message to be heard. Thursday would have been his 80th birthday. Happy Birthday Dr. King.
'nuff said.
