King Still King?

Martin Luther King Jr. A name that everyone knows. A name that represents leadership, freedom, bravery. We don't see too many people like him nowadays. Sure, times are much different now; African Americans were barely treated as human beings when King was alive. But there are still problems all over the world just as bad, if not worse, than what fueled the Civil Rights Movement. The world needs a modern day King to stand up and fight for the rights of those who are oppressed. King acted as a king truly is supposed to. He represented his people and did as much as he could to try and make life better for them. We still recognize his actions and pay respect to him on a national holiday dedicated to remember him.
