It honors the life and legacy of the activist who led the fight for racial equality, brings focus on current civil rights issues, highlights the power of using nonviolence to bring about social reform, and inspires young people to consider joining public service.

    i think that his dream is beautiful. yet some people dont and still are racist and i say we could end this if we wanted too... but we could also fight against sexism. women and young ladies dont get paid as much as men... did you guys know that male nurses get paid more than the female ones? that is so unfair! dont be mad at me for bringing sexism into this... im just saying we should fight for both

      Oh my goodness!!! Yes. I agree with you 100%. It isn't fair at all. A man and a woman who work the same exact job...But the man gets paid more than the woman because he is a man. It's not fair. That's why woman need to stand up and show the world that just because we are woman, it doesn't mean that we aren't capable of the same things as men.

                  SAME but hopefully he wouldn't think that we'd be stalking him or anything, but in fourth grade, which was last year, we learned his older sister is still alive...... Well, we researched that so I'm not a nerd I RESEARCHED THAT.
