MIA Mass Meeting at Holt Street Baptist Church

Today is Martin Luther King Junior day, and I hadn't ever really stopped and thought about what that day really meant. Something Johnathon missed was that Rosa Parks was one of the finest citizens in Montgomery, Alabama. "Just the other day, just last Thursday to be exact, one of the finest citizens in Montgomery (Amen)—not one of the finest Negro citizens, (That’s right) but one of the finest citizens in Montgomery" Not just including the white citizens, not just black citizens but out of ALL citizens. I feel this is a very powerful statement. In this day and age this doesn't mean the same thing that it did when Martin Luther King Junior gave this speech. Times have (thankfully) changed and blacks are no longer segregated against and are given all of the same rights that have always been given to white citizens. Something else that is pretty amazing is that something that helped spur this evolution of rights among blacks is the fact that Rosa Parks wouldn't get out of her seat when a white person asked for it. “as taken from a bus (Yes) and carried to jail and arrested (Yes) because she refused to get up to give her seat to a white person." and thus she was arrested. Martin Luther King Junior did so much to change the world to make this world a better place for everyone to live in; free of hate and racism, he has accomplished so much even in death. He is a person that the United States can continue to be proud of for the years to come, every day not just on his national holiday.
