King still king?

Martin Luther King Jr. is far from a forgotten figure.  His prominence is known throughout the world. However now he is looked at as a revolution.  He is not just the man who started this idea he is the idea.  This news of equality spread throughout the world.  The Civil Rights Act not only effected the United States of America, but the world as a whole.  Everyone knew about it and was amazed a feat that seemed impossible was accomplished.  I think the idea that you can do anything you put your mind to is really what was brought out from the movement.  People now-a-days give up to fast when the times get tough.  If M.L.K. Jr. was still around I believe he would be fighting another movement for the better of a harmonious world.  So Martin Luther King is still around in our lives not as a person, but as the idea of a driving force of determination.
