MLK response

Based on what I’ve recently learned about martin Luther King Jr I think America tends to glorify certain people. Like Andy stated MLK supported a lot of important things but he wasn’t a saint, he had affairs and did other very human things. People don’t acknowledge his mistakes or even everything he believed in . his ideals are sugar coated and conformed into things that wont question or go against the traditional AWOL. America supports radical ideas after they become the norm but when people are fighting for them they aren’t supported at all. The government didn’t support equal rights for African Americans and Caucasian people. Americans didn’t support equal rights for women and men in the beginning.Just like MLK was glorified so was Hellen Keller. She was portrayed as someone who overcame great obstacles yet her views werent as higly known.
