In this day and age, there are many characters and figures who inspire the young and oldwith tales of how they came to change the course of history. A prime example is the late Martin Luther King Jr. While I do believe there are many other people who deserve the same recognition and respect he does for his contributions, King is very well-deserving of his current role and display.
Now it seems to me that when a person dies for a justifiable cause, the cause is seen in another light. People ignorant to it are now knowledgeable, and people already involved are more dedicated to the cause than ever. It has always had more impact with the death of a person someone can relate to. This is a large reason why he is so celebrated today.
He will truly live on, and hopefully people will begin to recognize others of equal impact on the world. No matter how controversial, some people are just great, and deserve the respect of all.
