Don't Gore King
Ed, how dare the editor of The Trentonian include a photo of Martin Luther King Jr. while poking fun at the evolution of the Nobel Peace Prize and recipients Al Gore and Jimmy Carter. Dr. King stood for a lot more; he did a lot of things for a lot of people, not just African-Americans. This was disrespectful and an apology needs to go out to the community.
Prize Fighter
Dr. King, in a life cut short, did far more good in this world than Al Gore could in 10 lifetimes. No arguments here. — Ed. Note

There is no comparison. For some reason people tend to associate a promised circumstance with a circumstance resulting in reality. To initiate the thought that Dr. King was nothing more than a specific race advocate is not only untimely but ridiculous at best. Dr. King proved his intention and completed his resolve in bringing to all people the right to peacefully unharness the powers that continuoulsy held them back from achieving their goals. Dr. King's resolve culminated in the Civil Rights Act of 1963. This very important response to justice and fair protection under the law is far more impportant than any one man. Truly Al Gore has brought the public's awareness forward regarding Global Warming and was the next choice for president of the Super Power. However, lets not confuse the two issues. While winning the electorial college votes could have made Al Gore president of these United States, his power would have only been specific to the two possibly four years he spent in office. Certainly, he would have placed specific persons in specific areas of long standing influences within our government. However, Dr. Kings contribution to the world place all men, women and children in a perfect place of peace, justice, and knowledge that their justice will be fairly appropriated by law.
Dear Advocate. Being someone still around since the Civil Rights Act was enacted into law, I deeply respect Dr. King and his moral and ethical ideas that effected change in this country. He truly reversed the role of people that otherwise would have gone unrelated to the issues we all face. Most people do and want to believe the sum of the Civil Rights Act only pertains to poor African Americans.Well,they should seek at least a small amount of education on this noted subject. It protects us all and I am one of the most sterling examples of exactly how powerful and far reaching the act can and has taken us. I was born in the Soviet Union. Upon coming to this country, I was literally the outsider. I struggled for housing, employment, a decent place to raise my children, dignity and community standing. On every level, I was discriminated against. Finally someone advised me to elicit help from the Division of Civil Rights, I did. They help me in a great many ways. My employment was secured and everything else fell into place. As I said, Dr. King's magnificant contributions protects us all. If nothing else, Dr. King's legacy of contribution will certainly be tested during these times of one nation, nationality or people not having respect or regard for others. I hope my example of the Civil Rights Act and its influence
in society is sufficient to help people understand what he truly sacrificed for all of us.
