…Heaven, …Israel, …both.\nIt is God’s testament, promise, and word. That you can find your rest in Him.\n\nPlease don’t forget Rev. King was referring the fact that Moses was not allow to enter the land, but was only allowed to see it from the mountaintop.\n\n…I look forward to asking him someday, in God’s Glory.  Amen

Malcolm X's real stance was that black people did not belong in America. That this was the "white man's" country and they needed to emigrate back to Africa. He DID end up doing SOME work with Dr. King so the answer would be yes AND no. Malcolm DID work with civil rights and intergrationist leaders.....but his heart wasnt really in it. NO disprespect to Malcolm at all. Although I didnt agree with all the things he said. I respect how the man turned HIMSELF around and found his true voice in the world.

I think that he was a very intelligent person caught up in a time when African Americans were unjustly subjected to harsh racism and lynchings, at the hands of the White populace. Segregation was the status quo, and he did what he thought was right in fighting against it. His actions were only a response to the harshness of the times during his life. He eventually realized that all men were brothers after his pilgrimage to Mecca, and moved closer to the philosophy of Martin Luther King, Jr..

he was very peaceful however he advocated a separation between whites and blacks. he urged blacks to start their own organizations and reject regular, white based culture to make their own unique one. He was a freedom rider as well.

Martin Luther King JR\n\n\n"Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.\n\nAnd so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.\n\nI have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."\n..............................................\nI have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. \n..................................................\nI have a dream today!\n..........................................\nThis is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.\n\nWith this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.\n\nAnd this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning:\n\nMy country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. \n\nLand where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride, \n\nFrom every mountainside, let freedom ring! \n\nAnd if America is to be a great nation, this must become true."\n..............

INTRODUCTION\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nMartin Luther King, Jr., is best known nationally and internationally for his leadership of the American Civil Rights Movement [1] and his subsequent efforts to promote world peace and economic equality. The Martin Luther King, Jr., National Historic Site, located in the historic east side Atlanta black community where King was reared and to which he later returned in the height of his activism, commemorates King's lifetime achievements. The Site preserves the King Birth Home and the immediate historic black neighborhood where King spent his youth. The larger "Sweet Auburn" community, which served as the economic, cultural, and religious center for Atlanta's segregated black population from 1910 through the 1960s, greatly influenced King both as a youth and as an adult.\n\nOn January 15, 1929, Martin Luther King, Jr., was born in Atlanta at 501 Auburn Avenue within a prosperous black commercial and residential district. He lived in this house with his mother, father, grandparents, sister, brother, and an occasional boarder until he was twelve years old. King attended public schools nearby and walked to services at Ebenezer Baptist, where his maternal grandfather and father served as ministers. In 1941, the family moved to another house within the Auburn Avenue community, and King commuted to Atlanta University on the west side to attend high school classes. As an adult, King left Atlanta to attend Crozer Seminary, in Chester, Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia, and continued his education at Boston University. King led the members of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. while completing his doctorate in theology at Boston University. After serving in Montgomery for six years, King traveled to Atlanta to help organize the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957, and eventually moved to the city in 1960. The dominant force in the SCLC, King also co-pastored at Ebenezer Baptist Church in the Auburn Avenue community with his father.\n\nFew nationally significant civil rights activities occurred under King's mantle in Atlanta. However, King served upon the governing board of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), headquartered in Atlanta, participated in a lunch counter boycott at Rich's department store, a well-known Atlanta commercial establishment, and supported black Atlanta union members in a strike. King's best known and most effective civil protests occurred outside Atlanta, particularly in Alabama, where blacks wielded little economic, social, or political power.\n\nNevertheless, the black commercial and residential district centered around Auburn Avenue and the prominent black religious institutions in the community had a lasting impact on King and other black community leaders. Throughout the South, civil rights activities relied on strong communities and outspoken religious leaders. Auburn Avenue and its surrounding black residential areas developed as a direct result of segregationist policies common throughout nineteenth- and twentieth-century Southern urban centers. Within this milieu of hardship, black economic, cultural, and political institutions waxed, and in some cases, flourished. Auburn Avenue's vitality surpassed that achieved by many southern black communities. This unique community greatly influenced the life path chosen by King, to challenge racism, poverty, and the denial of black civil rights.\n\nAuburn Avenue and its coterminous residential community developed as a stronghold of black Atlanta politics, commerce, spirituality, and Social life. Sweet Auburn described the corridor east of Peachtree to Howell Avenue and north of Auburn to Houston Street. Edgewood Avenue, located just south of Auburn Avenue, developed later predominantly as a white commercial corridor. On both avenues, access to the central business district to the west via

Martin Luther King Jr.\n\nI would ask him from where, besides god, he drew his strong moral convictions, and his opinion on the present state of our country.\n\n\nPS: I am not being overly "PC." The guy who asked that questions REPEATEDLY asks racist questions and talks condescendingly of other races. My answer wasn't based on that ONE question. Don't be so quick to judge.

"i have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident;that all men are created equal."\nBy Martin Luther King\nI'm sorry its not in my own words, but that's what the American dream is to me equality for all, whites, blacks, Hispanics,legal or illegal, we are all human i just wish everyone could see that, a piece paper does not define the value of a person.Racism, hate, war, and prejudice is not the answer.

Didn't Martin Luther King give up his life to prevent things like this happening? I don't think he wanted his death to be ignored in this way, he fought for integration not segregation.
