Martin Luther King Jr., along with Malcolm X, Ella Baker, the NAACP - yes, even Emmitt Till - have tought us very important lessons about what society once was, what human beings can do to each other and also, (in my opinion one of the most important aspects) that human kind is possible to achieve the impossible (as integration and equality seemed at the time).

This subject is in my eyes a very revelant period of history which everybody should inform themselves about, simply because the world wouldn‘t be the same, if the Civil Rights Movement wouldn‘t have happened.
