    It should also be noted that in 1967 King said he felt he had “integrated his people into a burning house”. King started to speak against American imperialism worldwide.

    Martin Luther King Jr is such a good man and he's one of my favorite people in the whole history. Dr. King was only 39 years old when he was shot and killed at the hotel. He had a good heart for many people, even those who don't like him. I hope Dr. Martin Luther King Jr would rest in peace forever and live on in Heaven.
