King still King?

I understand the Martin Luther King, Jr. did a lot for the black community and for every individual of color, but I don’t think he is still King in today’s society.  I believe this is so because people don’t even appreciate what he did for our country.  People don’t even pay homage for him when we have a day off because of his birthday.  It means nothing to people anymore and it’s sickening.  I’ll be honest, I didn’t even know it was his birthday until I found out we didn’t have school on Monday.  Like I believe that for my generation, Martin Luther King doesn’t really mean anything to us because we are reaping the benefits those generations paved for us.  I believe that my parents and my grandparents appreciate the man more because they saw and lived through the struggle.  As a whole, my generation hasn’t experienced segregation in our whole lives.  We like to think that we have but that isn’t the case.  I do think that besides the kids getting a day off of school, the adults should get a day off of work because they made this day possible for us and they actually appreciate what Martin Luther King has done for our society.  Without him I probably won’t be at the school that I’m at today because they name of the man my schools is named after learned from Martin Luther King.  I also wouldn’t have the diversified collection of friend that I have today.  That’s what I think on whether or not King should still be King in today’s world.
