King Still King?

Is Martin Luther King Jr. still influencing our society? Of course, the King is still King. He has made such an impact on our society many years ago, and we still see the effects later on. In my opinion, he and Rosa Parks did it all. They opened the doors for the narrow-minded people. Way back when, when Rosa Parks sat in a white person's seat, they started something so revolutionary, that it stuck with America through the generations. This is....de-segregation. They have started us on a never ending path of un-segregation. This path goes on and on forever, as we hope to stay like this. Here in 2011, I think we can agree that we have done pretty well to stick to the ‘path’.
The King is still the King because he took charge. He took charge the way a leader should. And he is still remembered today because of that. He is also famous for his ‘I have a Dream Speech..’. The King is still King because of his ability to talk to the people. If he was truly a king, the people would feel more connected to him.
Obviously, even in today’s society, we want someone who will listen to us, somebody who understands our lives. As my last statement, just a recap of what I’m talking about…….
The King is still King because what he did is still with us today.
