People hated him for trying to end all forms of discrimination in America. But that hate was nothing compared to the hate shown when he began questioning the war in Vietnam.

MLK wasn't perfect (who is?) but he was the perfect person at that time to start bringing an end to racism in America. He studied and learned a lot from Ghandi, and likewise, we can study and learn a lot from him. Shatoya: I agree.

And when he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, he donated the $54,000 prize money to civil rights groups. After he died, the family has tried to make money off his name, but that's not MLK's fault. Anyway, even if he was really a rich selfish bastard, he did get things to change that, without his input, might have taken several more generations to happen. (Just my opinion, of course...I know a lot of people disagree...) Pete: When MLK died, I don’t think he was a very wealthy man…not by CEO standards, anyway.
