Dr. Martin Luther King is defiantly still relevant. Dr. King fought for equal rights and an end to racism. Still to this day you can say that people still don’t have equal rights and there is defiantly racism still in today’s modern society. Though racism is not as bad as it was it is still living. Its today’s society blacks are often looked down upon. It is not unheard of a person of a different race getting a job over a black person just because of their skin. Racism now is not only limited to blacks. Mexicans are also looked at the same way. There are also a lot of racist stereo types. For example, Asians are smart and black people are always late. In some cases especially in the south rights are secretly based upon their race. For example, if a black person got caught stilling would get a harsher punishment than if he/she were of a different race. He is relevant because his goals were not completely accomplished and we are still fighting his war against racism. If he was still alive I could see him speaking to people around the world about rights and racism.
I have never heard the steorotype that black people are always late. But I do agree racism still exist even though people seem to believe its extinct. People still don't get equal right and chances for things. It's just not as in your face as it use to be, its behind closed doors.
