What do you think he would have to say about race relations and racism here in 2008? About other current event topics? What would he say still needs to be accomplished and how would he suggest we go about it?
If Dr. King Was Still Alive Today
MrsSpringsteen said:Johnson said King is considered a martyr by many but said, if he were alive, he would be considered an agitator by many people, the newspaper said.

Good chance he would be as popular/ or unpopular as Jesse Jackson.
If anyone wants to do a little research, by 1968 many considered him a 'communist" he was advocating against the Viet Nam War.
I am not trying to diminish the memory of MLK jr, one bit.
I believe him to be at the top of the list of most important people of the last century.
I also support 100% all of the issues he raised.
I am just trying to be realistic here.
If JFK had lived would he be more like Jimmy Carter or Ted Kennedy?
I will digress for a comparison
take the young James Dean and the young Brando.
If Brando had died in the car crash would James Dean have turned into the bloated, Larry King kissing aging actor?
Also, let's say if Liz Taylor had died in her 30s would she be the tragic icon,
and Monroe lived on, would she have had 7-8 husbands and an erratic life?
