King Still King?
Well it might be kind of pointless to publish a post about this; seeing how Martain Luther King day has passed, but ill do it anyway. The topic of this blog poses a good question though. Last monday I dont think I gave any deep thought about the fact that it was MLK day. Which I regret that it has come to that. It was just another day off for me. When you think about Martain Luther King and what he did, he’s really just irreplaceable in history. He made such a large impact on a part of history that can never be altered in the same way again. In that respect, he will always be the King. For what it means to everyone else however, is a different story. His presence in modern day society has diminished. We are rewarded with a day of in his behalf, but really how many people actually recognize why its a day off? How many people take the time to honor him on the day off? I, for one, am guilty of doing this. Thinking about it now, I wish I could say I did more than watch trash tv and finish homework. But thats what I did. Hopefully next year, I’ll take the mentality of treating this day as just another day off and turn it into a more productive day. He isnt really the king of anything now that has a large impact on the average american citizen today.
