King had a lot of problems. If he plagarized that speech (as well as his thesis, which is pretty obvious), he picked a good one.
IMO only two Americans should have days given in their honor; Lincoln and Washington.
I'd go with just Washington, and not because I'm some old South reactionary.
I guess these days bug me; combine Washington and Lincolns birthdays (which we celebrated as kids) to make "Presidents Day", and give a schmuck like MLK his own day.
God help is if Jesse Jackass reaps what he sows.
