Martin Luther King Jr. Day

well people as you all know on monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day and i just sorta wanted to talk about it a little because yesterday in my Social Studies class (which is history i guess you could say or geography whatever u wanna call it) and we watched a movie about how bad racism really was back then, i mean we knew that there was drinking fountains for whites only and fountains for blacks only but this movie was pretty intense and sad. it talked about how kids, Little kids would get sepparated from there parents and never see them again just because of their race. and it also talked about how like the Irish and the Jews and the japs (japanese) were either put into camps because of their race and practically abused in my point of view or they were killed... i just thought that was horrible, and it really told me how important martin luther king jr day is this year because the anogeration ( i think thats how you spell it) of the first black african american president is happening and its pretty amazing just how far our country has come in such a short amount of time
