Today is Martin Luther King Day. Hats off to him for all he did to get civil rights going forward. Ever since I was a kid I have been watching him and admiring his intelligence, courage and principals. He did so much to change the face of society from segregation to what it is supposed to be. I have never understood racism. It made no sense to me. That goes back to 1954. Yes, I actually thought about those things as a little kid.
I remember when the Govenor of Alabama, George Wallace, tried to continue segregation and was a total racist jerk back when I was in High School. I always felt that Martin Luther King should have been honored for his efforts. In fact, he was back in 1964 when he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to change thngs in a non-violent way.
I always thought that he was very inspirational. I actually get a tear in my eye when I think about him and how we lost a seriously noble person when he was murdered. All the best to you Martin.
