https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Martin_Luther_King,_Jr. I am wondering what you people think would have been the US history if MLK was not assassinated.
There would be no Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton.. If it matters MLK was murdered on orders by one of those two... Look at their race baiting careers, you think if MLK was alive he would tolerate either one of them? Both of those clowns would be working at McDonalds instead of pandering to white people.. if it even matters MLK gave these guys a job and opened the door for them, it's clear they had a different vision and equality wasn't enough for them... Malcolm X was done the same way - the second he wasn't a nut he was murdered too - the same goes for almost every activist for equality..
Men do not make the times, the times create the man. There was absolutely nothing special about MLK and if he did not exist then someone else would have filled the void. The movement was going full steam on its own and still would have occurred.
