King Still King?

Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the most influential people of our countries time, but I feel like his message is being forgotten and what he stood for is dying. To be honest I had to read an article to really understand what he stood for and what his message was. I knew the basics but the basics dont do him any justice. In my opinion he should still be king but we are allowing ourselves to forget his message of desegregation, this is apparent in chicago (although its been that way for a while) but also in our school. If you were to ask someone what race sat in which house of of school the answers would be pretty similar. the answers are pretty standard for everyone in the school. I try to point out that the school is segregated in lunch rooms but I am guilty of the segregation too. So on a sad note I believe that he is still King but is only a figure and other ideas are creeping in and taking over.
