I believe it’s still there. Just not as news worthy.

Yeah, some folks were just good people who tried to do something greater than themselves. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was one of those rare people who dreamt of something better and sadly, there's not enough folks like that in the world, else this would all be a better place

The man had his flaws as do we all, but I truly believe everyone should be judged on the content on their character, not the color of their skin.

It seems this message has largely been lost.

If everyone started with themselves being decent towards others rather than pointing fingers, (including myself) this world be better place.

The violent people killed the non-violent protesters.

Martin Luther King certainly believed in ONLY non violent protests. "Mostly" peaceful protests are not peaceful. He also always flew American flags at his rallies. He always used prayer in his rallies, as he was a Reverend (though that's kind of forgotten and not mentioned on his DC Statue". I feel very lucky to have met his widow, around 1986ish. What a lovely, classy and smart lady she was. And so gracious.
