Martin Luther King's legacy informs social movements fighting for civil and human rights for the oppressed population in America and around the world. He defined this as a place not only for the free of justice but a society that actively promotes love, justice, and humanity in it's legal, political, civic, and religious life. This year the holiday takes place during and issue by the president that many sees as dehumanizing. The way that Trump is using he power is exactly the kind of abuse that King was fighting against.
The whole concept of Martin Luther King Day is so that we can celebrate his legacy and what he was fighting for but with everything going on right now its doesn't seem that they care about today. They are so caught up in what they want that they don't see what they are doing and how they are hurt. The purpose of this article was to show that we have forgotten the real message and reason that we celebrate this day.
I couldn't agree more we are so overrun by the things going wrong with our country that we didn't get to stop and celebrate the man who fought for us. Maybe next year... - Kloe Rhoden
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that as the years go by the message gets faded people forget that this still affects us. When you really think about the time MLK was talking about were not that long ago.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, they are seeing what they want but they don’t see how much damage it is causing.
