I suppose he did yeah. I am young and wasn't even thought of in the 60's but my view is that it's sad in this country and in this world. You have to die in order for people to actually realize what you were trying to say or do. Same with Dr. King and same with many. Martyrdom is not in any sense something we should accept yet this happens all the time. People in general are resistant to change. Dr. King stood for change without violence and many people, as history and psychology shows, are not that way. Most resort to the more easy way; the more hostile way.
I suppose I may sound like a ramblin' kid but I know a thing or two about these matters. |
