To The Critics Of MLK

In several days the nation will celebrate the birthday of Martin Luther King.  He was the greatest civil rights leader of recent history.  Every year someone will criticize and attempt to belittle his memory and contributions.   Yes,  Martin Luther King had faults.  Who doesn't?  Only Jesus Christ is a perfect man, as well as the perfect God. Nevertheless, MLK was definitely a man of immense courage and compassion.   He saw grave injustice and did something about it.  What he did has changed America for the better. The need to sit in the back of a bus because one is black is a law that did not need to exist. However, how did that law and others like it, cease to be? It did not happen instantly. It happened through united efforts. Who united those efforts? I have never considered MLK a perfect person. He was a man. He made mistakes. But why should we focus on his errors? The work he accomplished, the leadership he demonstrated is not something just any person can do. Yes, he had a dream. He saw a part of it come to fruition. He was then murdered for it. Some men are feared for their leadership. This is why they are assassinated.
