Escapade Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Does it make you angry that there's a Martin Luther King day and not a Malcolm X Day, Huey Newton Day, etc? Personally I don't mind cause I adore Dr. King but a lot of ppl seem to have a problem with that. How do you feel about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bu. Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 There's too many heroes out there - it's impossible to have a day for all of them because otherwise people wouldn't work - the economy would fail etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus MLK is kind of synonymous with the civil rights movement. Just because we honor him doesn't mean we forget about everyone else.

Smh Maybe it makes more sense to make it a day to celebrate the work of all the heroes that contributed to the civil rights movement instead of just MLK?
