I don't know, but MLK's death was a travesty for the Black population.  He was truly a man of peace and honor.

It may have been 40 years since the civil rights movement, but there hasn't been any wandering around in the desert ever since, and Martin Luther King, Jr. didn't lead the non-wandering in the desert, as he was busy being dead.  So no, it isn't a copy of the exodus, and Martin Luther King was simply Martin Luther King, Jr. and not a reincarnation of Moses.\n\nAnd sure, there has been a large group of the lost tribe of Manasseh  being found in Ethopia and they're black, but they've found other groups of some of the "lost tribes" in China, Russia, etc., so its obviously not about race.  I really don't think God is racially prejudiced.

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

None.  There has been no evidence whatsoever of anyone being killed in the name of Satan.  Robert "The Night Stalker" Ramierez claimed that he was a Satan worshipper, but it turned out his claims were a put-on to agitate the press and get attention.  \n\nThe numbers of people killed in God/Allah's name are beyond counting.

Dr. King's house was bombed Jan 30th, 1956.  He was attending evening services at the First Baptist Church:\n\n"Three nights later, on January 30, I left home a little before seven to attend our Monday evening mass meeting at the First Baptist Church. A member of my congregation had come to the parsonage to keep my wife company in my absence. About nine-thirty they heard a noise in front that sounded as though someone had thrown a brick. In a matter of seconds an explosion rocked the house. A bomb had gone off on the porch. \n\nAfter word of the bombing reached the mass meeting, everybody attempted to keep it from me. People looked at me and then away; one or two seemed about to approach me and then changed their minds. Soon I noticed several of my fellow ministers going in and out of the church in a rather unusual manner, and from this I surmised that something had happened. Unable to restrain my curiosity any longer, I called three of my closest associates and urged them to tell me what had happened. I assured them that I was prepared for whatever it was. Ralph Abernathy said hesitantly, "Your house has been bombed." \n\n-"The Autobiography of Martin Luther King"

Jordan's father, James, was murdered on July 23, 1993, in Lumberton, North Carolina, by Daniel Green and Larry Martin Demery, who were caught after being traced from calls they made on James Jordan's cell phone. They also stole his Dad's Lexus - they apparently weren't very bright. Both men were convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Green later changed his name to Lord D.A.A.S. U'Allah

WOW, I was not aware that Billy Ray's wife, TISH, passed away.  Are you sure about that?  I haven't been able to find supporting documentation either way.  I'll keep looking, though.

I don't believe so. But this one goes out to "MPA the racist bastard" up above me. Read his answer, then read mine.\n\nHe says he's a member of the KKK, and will kill any black man he sees.\n\nMPA the racist bastard:\nYou know what else isn't in the bible moron?\nHatred against another person, or race.\nThis includes that the KKK isnt in the bible.\n\n\nSo if you claim to know the bible, you should know that hatred is not there, and you shouldnt take part in it.\n\nOtherwise, I guess you truly are a hipocrat.

NO he was not killed because of that, read this if you can, maybe it will explain to you.\nBiography of Malcolm X\n\n\n \nMarch 10, 1964\nPhoto by Truman Moore/Time Warner, Inc. \nMalcolm X was born Malcolm Little on May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska. His mother, Louis Norton Little, was a homemaker occupied with the family's eight children. His father, Earl Little, was an outspoken Baptist minister and avid supporter of Black Nationalist leader Marcus Garvey. Earl's civil rights activism prompted death threats from the white supremacist organization Black Legion, forcing the family to relocate twice before Malcolm's fourth birthday. Regardless of the Little's efforts to elude the Legion, in 1929 their Lansing, Michigan home was burned to the ground, and two years later Earl's mutilated body was found lying across the town's trolley tracks. Police ruled both accidents, but the Little's were certain that members of the Black Legion were responsible. Louise had an emotional breakdown several years after the death of her husband and was committed to a mental institution. Her children were split up amongst various foster homes and orphanages.\n\nMalcolm was a smart, focused student and graduated from junior high at the top of his class. However, when a favorite teacher told Malcolm his dream of becoming a lawyer was "no realistic goal for a nigger," Malcolm lost interest in school. He dropped out, spent some time in Boston, Massachusetts working various odd jobs, and then traveled to Harlem, New York where he committed petty crimes. By 1942 Malcolm was coordinating various narcotic, prostitution and gambling rings.\n\nEventually Malcolm and his buddy, Malcolm "Shorty" Jarvis, moved back to Boston, where they were arrested and convicted on burglary charges in 1946. Malcolm placated himself by using the seven-year prison sentence to further his education. It was during this period of self-enlightenment that Malcolm's brother Reginald visited and discussed his recent conversion to the Muslim religious organization the Nation of Islam. Intrigued, Malcolm studied the teachings of Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad. Muhammad taught that white society actively worked to keep African-Americans from empowering themselves and achieving political, economic and social success. Among other goals, the Nation of Islam fought for a state of their own, separate from one inhabited by white people. By the time he was paroled in 1952, Malcolm was a devoted follower with the new surname "X." He considered "Little" a slave name and chose the "X" to signify his lost tribal name.\n\n \nFeb. 18, 1965\nPhoto by Robert L. Haggins \nIntelligent and articulate, Malcolm was appointed a minister and national spokesman for the Nation of Islam. Elijah Muhammad also charged him with establishing new mosques in cities such as Detroit, Michigan and Harlem, New York. Malcolm utilized newspaper columns, radio and television to communicate the Nation of Islam's message across the United States. His charisma, drive and conviction attracted an astounding number of new members. Malcolm was largely credited with increasing membership in the Nation of Islam from 500 in 1952 to 30,000 in 1963.\n\nThe crowds and controversy surrounding Malcolm made him a media magnet. He was featured in a week-long television special with Mike Wallace in 1959, The Hate That Hate Produced, that explored fundamentals of the Nation of Islam and Malcolm's emergence as one of its most important leaders. After the special, Malcolm was faced with the uncomfortable reality that his fame had eclipsed that of his mentor Elijah Muhammad.\n\nRacial tensions ran increasingly high during the early 1960s. In addition to the media, Malcolm's vivid personality had captured the government's attention. As membership in the Nation of Islam continued to grow, FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) agents infiltrated

In my personal opinion {no facts to back it up}I believe he was killed. I recall back when that happened, September of 1970. Things didnt sound right about his death and thats why all these years, I've believed he was killed off.

Uh, he's not as old as anything anymore since he has passed away. If you mean how old *would* he be today...he'd be 77 y/o this year. I am assuming that you meant Martin Luther King, JR.

I am Muslim but I still think Dr. Martin Luther King was a more effective leader.  He had a mission and that was getting equality and right to vote for people of all races in the United States through peaceful means.  Peaceful means is always more effective than violence. He could have been a better political leader for blacks than Jesse Jackson if he was alive.  Look at Mandela and Gandhi.  The Palestinians could learn a few lessons.  Sucide bombers is not the answer.\n\nMalcolm X had more anger and hatred in him and got pulled into a racist movement which was the "Nation of Islam".  He wanted to highlight the plight of blacks in America and bring in the notion of black superiority.  Later on in his life he went to hajj (pilgrimage) to Mecca and embrased true Islam and its unversalist concepts, by then he was assasinated.
