MLK

The big deal about MLK is what he stood up for-rights for African Americans everywhere. He stood up in protest on a matter that any one out of the black community wanted anything to do with. This risky protesting and standing out by standing up proved to MLK to be fatal, as he was assassinated. Today, there are still leaders for causes and such, but their really has not been one quite as powerful and moving as Martin Luther King Jr.. I don't know if it's because that there are not such important issues affecting a single group of people everywhere, or if there just is not a need for a leader of such high stature. However, I do think that the time will come when such a leader is called upon again. MLK has accomplished more than an eternity's worth for African Americans across the United States, let alone the world. Although it does not seem as obvious, Luther has done something for the white man as well; he has shown him the ways of brotherhood. I also believe that another one of his intentions as well was to help racist people see the realer side of their segregated reality.
