Is King still king?

Martin Luther King, Jr. will always be remembered. He was an important figure in the civil rights movement in the 1960s, and he is admired for his nonviolent approaches. I think Martin Luther King, Jr. can still be considered "king" for civil rights because there has not been another movement since the 1960s, and there has not been anyone who has made a public impression on the issue of civil rights. People still think of Martin Luther King, Jr. when they think of civil rights.

As important as King is, he will only remain socially "king" if we continue to study what he did and what he stood for. As time goes on, the civil rights movement becomes less relevant to us because that is not the most talked issue right now. In today's society issues like immigration, gun control, and the economy are a lot bigger than civil rights. We still acknowledge what King did, but his actions become less relevant as time progresses. None of us lived through the civil rights movement, so we don't have a first-hand experience as what society was like at that time. We can't fully comprehend what effect King had on all the people. However, that doesn't stop us from appreciating what he did for the civil rights movement. He can looked at as an example all of us. We may not be fighting for civil rights, but King's nonviolent and peaceful approach of protesting is something we can all take note of no matter what we are protesting. Martin Luther King, Jr. is definitely a role model for all of us.
