King Still King?

Without a doubt, Martin Luther King is still King. Although I do believe history repeats itself, I don't think anybody will ever be able to do something as monumental as Martin Luther King did. This is partially because he is the first person to ever do it. In fairness, he is not the only person who was responsible for change during the civil rights era, but whenever someone thinks of the civil rights movement MLK is always considered the "head honcho" so to speak. This speaks to the revolutionary role he played, and to his credit, makes it seems as though he started the idea, and everyone else were just his followers. I don't know how much truth this holds, but no one has ever argued against this so who are we to question it.
