Martin Luther King Jr. Day is today and many are remembering back.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is today and the United States takes a little time off to remember him.

Calling today a sacred holiday the Chiagotribune.com talks about the the spiritual aspects of his life.



In the SFGate.com article there is more information on his effect on modern day American and the upcoming election.

On a more personal level Roanoke.com is asking Virginians how they feel that things have changed since the death of King 40 years ago.

I believe that he was a great inspirational leader that did not allow others to push him around. He was one of the few men that had a voice that was not going to be silenced until he was heard and all of America's eyes were opened.

It is sad that it took his life for our predecessors to open there eyes and return to the change of laws and rules to once again put us back on track. To follow through with the idea that all men (and women) were created equal.
