It took me a long time to catch on to this man, what he had to say, what he was all about.I became aware of MLK through street names or structures way before I first heard his speeches. Intelligent does not even come close to describing MLK. What a wonderful soul….a super soul! He was way before my time but time is irrelevant in regards to the things he put out, they apply more today than they did in his days. Too bad he wasn’t recognized for the genius he was in his days as much as after he was recognized after a racist shot and killed him. Had he been they might have done more to protect him. We have American Presidents who are guarded like gold is guarded yet they are of no earthly use in my book and don’t even come close to the good that MLK put out. Our values are screwy at minimal….is why all of the problems. One of the reasons why anyway.
