Yes i do know him, but all to well. He was the one who came up with the idea of how to control blacks. This is what is meant by black following that old slave masters plan. People say that blacks should forget the past and move on. Black have move on, but they still follow his plan, by forgetting the past.\n\nHis plan was genius that the only reason they could control them for so long. His plan was to control them mentally, by cause them to enslave each other. If blacks knew this they would stop the habit that are hurting them. just because they know they are following the slave masters plan.

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.

From 1840 to 2000, every President of the United States elected in a year ending in zero has died in office [or had an attempt made on his life]. "Astrologers theorize that the 'zero factor' has to do with the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn which meet every twenty years on the same degree of the zodiac.\nWilliam Henry Harrison 1840 - April 4, 1841 pneumonia ;\nAbraham Lincoln 1860 - April 15, 1865 assassinated; \nJames Abram Garfield 1880 - September 19,1881 assassinated ;\nWilliam McKinley 1900 -  September 14, 1901 assassinated; \nWarren Gamaliel Harding 1920 - August 2, 1923 stroke ;\nFranklin Delano Roosevelt 1940 - April 12, 1945 cerebral hemorrhage; \nJohn Fitzgerald Kennedy 1960 - November 22, 1963 assassinated.\n\nPresident Ronald Wilson Reagan, elected in 1980, survived an assassination attempt on 3-30-81\n\ni dont know. I studied about that in history class. In our class it wasn't a myth. Just a theory . It is kinda weird though.

A great African-American poet is Robert Hayden (August 4, 1913 - February 25, 1980). He wrote one of my favorite poems:\n\n"Those Winter Sundays"\n\nSundays too my father got up early\nand put his clothes on in the blueblack cold,\nthen with cracked hands that ached\nfrom labor in the weekday weather made\nbanked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him.\n\nI'd wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking.\nWhen the rooms were warm, he'd call,\nand slowly I would rise and dress,\nfearing the chronic angers of that house,\n\nSpeaking indifferently to him,\nwho had driven out the cold\nand polished my good shoes as well.\nWhat did I know, what did I know\nof love's austere and lonely offices? \n\nHe also wrote what he called an anti-epic "Middle Passage" which describes the voyage of slaves to the U.S. He is an awesome poet and not as well-known as some others.

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

He taught on striving for equality from  a Christian and "personal responsibility" point of view.\nSomething that has, sadly been lost on today's black leadership.

Rev. Martin Luther King, Sr. (December 19, 1899–November 11, 1984) was a Baptist minister, an early civil rights leader and an advocate for social justice. He was also the father of American civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., who was born in 1929. The elder King led the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, and his personal example helped inspire Martin Luther King Jr. to enter the ministry. King Sr. was also a significant leader of the civil rights movement, becoming the head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People chapter in Atlanta and of the Civic and Political League, and encouraging his son to become active in the movement. After King Jr.'s death, his father continued to be active in public life, and played a role in Jimmy Carter's presidential victory in 1976.
