It has been 44 years since the assassination of civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. and I wonder if America truly listened to King's message. I give him credit for wanting to remain optimistic and see the good in people. He practiced civil disobedience and his Christian faith influenced how he dealt with racial oppression. Since Dr. King's death America has evolved in some ways and the lives of Black people have been like a song filled with high notes and low notes from the integration of schools, Barack Obama being elected as President, and recently the unfortunate death of Trayvon Martin.
Rest in peace thank you for all that you have done.
