Happy MLK day

The year 2008, marks 40 years since MLK was assassinated on the balcony of his hotel room in Memphis. A few months ago, I had the privilege of visiting that hotel which has since become the MLK museum and it was quite an experience. I implore that if you ever visit the City of Memphis that you visit the MLK museum. I actually felt as if I lived in the era of when he was alive:the museum takes you through the civil rights movement and what African Americans had to go through because of the color of their skin. I tell you it was really sad. At the end of the museum tour, which was when he was assassinated, I actually felt a sense of loss. Anyways, like I earlier stated, visit with your family, friends and loved ones and it'll be worth your time and money.
In conclusion, MLK and the civil rights movement did not only fight for equality for African Americans but also for the all black people like me. Even though, I grew up in Nigeria, I have been given the opportunity to come to the United States and work and go to the school of my choice,the opportunity to get quality health care and the opportunity to live in the area of my choice (despite white flight lol) and most importantly, the oppotunity to vote and voice my opinions without being lynched.This is not to say that racial discrimination does not exist, but at least I'm tolerated as compared to being hated
For this, I'm grateful for the civil rights movement and the likes of MLK.
