Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Was Yesterday...
post #1

I seen an article was done on the site but I would like to remind others of his 5'7 height.

He never let it get in the way of his calling so don't let it for you.

Gandhi was also a shorter man, I think only 5'4 who achieved great things. I completely forgot about MLK Day.

He isn't taking away from the freedoms blacks gained because of MLK, he is just stating that his height was a non-issue in fighting for his dreams.

This was a good man and I am glad he has a day for people to remember what he did. It is a shame so much of the black community still remains enslaved by their own means and faults though.

speaking of slavery and MLK, here is a very good short article about a form of prejudice and oppression which the vast majority of human beings on this planet willingly and happily support on a daily basis:
