It seems some have chosen to ignore or have simply forgotten the big-picture vision promoted by Dr. King and his kin.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We have to remember that Dr. King was not an idle dreamer. Dr. King was a man of action. If Dr. King were here, he would challenge us and exhort us.
My role on television is one of helping people reexamine the assumptions that they hold. I regard Dr. King. You would never hear me get up and speak without in some way, shape or form, referencing, Dr. King.
Dr. King's general principles are universal. But the things he confronted took place in another era.

Dr. King's Nobel Prize had a more powerful transforming effect on him than I think he realized at the time.
Maybe for you in America, Dr. King has become boring because you hear about him so much. But for me, he is the man who has most inspired me.

When Dr. King was murdered, I had no idea who he was. But as soon as I heard his words on television that night when I was 9 years old, I was dumbstruck, awestruck by their power.
