That said, it still seems VERY morbid that so much reverence is placed on MLK's place of death, to the extent that a NATIONAL civil rights museum was built around it. There's so many noteworthy aspects of Martin Luther King's life that get lost because of the whole martyr worship thing. Long comment short, I think it's important to note that the fight for equal rights was worth dying for, but more emphasis should be placed on the fact that the same struggle was what MLK LIVED for.Derrick Denthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06180602424002536132noreply@blogger.com
