“No other ethnic group has been a slave on American soil. That is one thing that other immigrant groups haven’t had to face.” Can we make children learn this in school like the pledge of allegiance?

Such a beautiful spirit he had. #CalmTruthToPower. #MLK50 So mesmerizing and so young. So sad we are still trying to rise above the inequality so many years later. #EducationIsTheAnwer

Amazing footage of a great man who died too soon. I’ve never understood why someone would discriminated towards another person because of their skin color, religion, sexual orientation, etc! I get that you may disagree with someone’s opinion or have a problem w/their character.
