- Civil Rights - great example
If one were to study the civil rights period and wanted a list of recommended books, it would be a TRAVESTY if I didn't include a biography of Martin Luther King, Jr. - don't you think?
Obviously, Dr. King would NEED to feature PROMINENTLY in any study of the civil rights period. Why? Because he was a dynamic and monumental LEADER in that period. It's not for nothin' that we have made his birthday into a national holiday.
Does this mean that others in the civil rights movement were unimportant? Hardly. But we need to honor Dr. King for being the leader that he was.
I feel the same way about our nation's Founding Fathers. They were the leaders and they deserve history's attentions and honors accordingly.
