What a legacy!!
King Celebrate!!
Capricorn Father!!
Thank you King, sexy self
I know it's early (i guess) but I just got emotional again now thinking.
I think the older you get the more you really realize how mortal you are
we get one physical life on this Earth....that's it. so for someone to give that life out of selflessness
that is love for your people...how can i NOT feel that love?
it is overwhelming me right now.
king really died for me. not to be cool, not to be edgy, but because he was thinking of me
there's no coming back for him physically but i am happy to be thinking of him tonight. he deserves it. :blush: :blush:
39 years old?
Wow. He seemed so much older.
Thank you for everything KING

Happy Birthday!
Great thread. Some of that info I didn't know but
As many "woke" girls that are on here I figured this thread would be bigger!!
But thanks black king for dying for me and allowing me to date and love who I want no matter what the race and not get lynched in the process.

10 Things You Probably Didn't Know About MLK
He was actually named Michael, not Martin, when he was born. His father was also named Michael, but he decided to change his son's first name when he made a trip to Germany to visit the birthplace of the historic German theologian, Martin Luther.

As a teenager, MLK Jr. actually tried to commit suicide -- he was despairing over his grandmother's death at the time. He jumped from the second story of his house, but luckily, he wasn't fatally injured.

Despite the fact that he was troubled in his young life, Dr. King went on to do amazing things. He skipped grades because he was so brilliant, entering college at the tender age of 15. By 19, he had his bachelor's degree in sociology. His father wanted him to be a minister, and after some soul-searching, King decided the same. He attended seminary school in Pennsylvania, graduating with his PhD by age 25.

Throughout his work as one of the leaders of the Civil Rights Movement, Dr. King made plenty of important, poignant speeches and did incredible work within his communities. It didn't come without a price, though: King was arrested 29 times throughout his career, arrested for acts of civil disobedience and other trumped-up charges.

Here's one such example, from his profile on Biography: "On October 19, 1960, King and 75 students entered a local department store and requested lunch-counter service but were denied. When they refused to leave the counter area, King and 36 others were arrested. Realizing the incident would hurt the city's reputation, Atlanta's mayor negotiated a truce and charges were eventually dropped.
But soon after, King was imprisoned for violating his probation on a traffic conviction. The news of his imprisonment entered the 1960 presidential campaign, when candidate John F. Kennedy made a phone call to Coretta Scott King. Kennedy expressed his concern for King's harsh treatment for the traffic ticket and political pressure was quickly set in motion. King was soon released."

Despite being up against so much adversity, Dr. King went on with his work. He became the youngest person to ever win the Nobel Peace Prize, and donated all the proceeds from that prize to initiatives in the Civil Rights Movement. Then on August 28th, he made his iconic "I Have A Dream" speech at the National Mall. Despite its power, the speech put a huge target on King's back, making him a huge concern for the FBI. They felt his speech was too empowering for black communities and wanted to avoid civil unrest, so they began threatening Dr. King. Luckily, their threats didn't change the impact his words had on black communities across America.

Then, on April 4th, 1968, the unthinkable happened: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in his hotel room at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee.

From Biography: "Also on the day King was killed, he was out on the balcony for a smoke. While you?ll be hard pressed to find a picture of him smoking, he smoked regularly, though had a habit of hiding this partially due to the stigma, particularly within the church at the time, but also because he didn?t want his kids to take up smoking, and so didn?t like pictures of himself doing it, nor did he like to smoke when they were around. According to Rev. Kyles, after King was shot but before he was taken away by the ambulance, Kyles removed the package of cigarettes from King?s pocket and got rid of the cigarette butt, partially to attempt to hide the fact that King was smoking at the time he was shot."

He was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead at just 39 years old. During his short life, he managed to be more impactful than those who live twice as long, and his work changed the American social landscape forever.

King was a real life modern day savior. A real life hero and king.
It's kind of amazing when you think of it. The impact this one person had on the entire country.
I think the older you get, you realize not only the magnitude of sacrifice made by those immediately surrounding you (family etc) but the same for those who are further away.
It's so overwhelming. What an amazing man.
