In the USA today we have off from school because of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. He helped abolish the unfair treatment of African-Americans. Some racist white dude(I forgot his name...) Shot him on this day a while back(Forgot what year). So a moment of silence to him























Post your thoughts here.

Yes, I salute him, and not only for the day off from school. Supposedly, he was shot by James Earl Ray, but this website claims otherwise. It's actually quite interesting.

That's bad actually, like you Mitch, I am but a humble English gentleman, and yet my knowledge regarding this man is very sparse indeed. I think it should be more thouroughly taught.

All of my friends in school are darker colors but were homies and that wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for MLKJR. He is a hero.
