On MLK Day, Despair and Hope

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr. is arguably one of the most loved and respected historical figures, his impact on American history is unparalleled and unrivaled. It is easy to forget that before Dr. King started his fight, black people in the United States were considered and were treated as second class citizens. It was codified in the laws and an entire segment of the population was treated very badly in a country whose creed claimed to be that all men were created equal.
