Today the country acknowledges Martin Luther King Day, set aside to celebrate and in recognition of the life of a great man that certainly and literally changed the face of America forever and would, in my opinion, be quite pleased to see that he and the life work that he did is not forgotten by the country and the great strides made in America towards equality for all men and women of all races, creeds and religions.
The fine work that unfairly cost him his life along with countless others during the country's somewhat awkward development, and sadly the work so that many of today's pretenders to his throne have hijacked so shamelessly in his name while they spend more time exploiting the black community than helping them.
We all know who those characters are and not a one of them have accomplished since then what he did in that short period of time.
One thing for sure is that America has changed greatly for the better, and those who deny that are simply looking for handouts and milking his legacy as opposed to doing something about what they claim are inequities that still exist for the black community.

MLKDay.gov: "Dr. King sought to forge the common ground on which people from all walks of life could join together to address important community issues. Working alongside individuals of all ages, races and backgrounds, Dr. King encouraged Americans to come together to strengthen communities, alleviate poverty, and acknowledge dignity and respect for all human beings. Service, he realized, was the great equalizer."
In recognition of the 40th anniversary of Dr. King’s assassination, the Corporation for National and Community Service in 2008 is also pleased to join with other organizations in supporting a new initiative, “40 Days of Nonviolence: Building the Beloved Community.” Under this initiative, the King Day of Service will kick off 40 days during which families, schools, faith communities, and other organizations will plan service projects and educational activities promoting Dr. King’s message of nonviolence and social justice.
