ML...JK, I Have a Proposal

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day, all you Americans! Today, we celebrate one of the men who was at the forefront of the civil rights movement in the 1960's, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. If anything, you know him from his "I Have A Dream" speech or his "Letter from Birmingham Jail". If you're unfamiliar with either of those, I highly, highly recommend that you read them. King was a masterful rhetorician as well as a civil rights activist and father, and anybody can benefit from studying the words that he left behind.

But actually, I'm not going to talk about MLK today. I could easily take an entire blog post to talk about the many messages of Dr. King, as well as the example that he was and is as a man of solid conviction and forward-thinking social reformation. But I think that a blog is not a place for a history lesson, or a discourse on a person, no matter how famous they may be. My aim here on DAiNGER! is to entertain, and while some of you might find my thoughts on Dr. King interesting, I'm going to venture a guess that most would not.
