What does Martin Luther King Day mean to me? It means that this man Martin Luther King Jr, fought for my civil rights, your civil rights as an African- American. Now 45 years later, it has paid off, not fully but enough for us to have an African-American President. Which is really amazing because a lot of African-Americans never thought they would see this day. Now when I have kids, I can tell them that I got to see an African-American President be elected. And they will tell their children and when they grow up they can talk about the many more Black Presidents to come. Martin Luther King would be proud because without him none of this could happen. I wouldn't be able to go to the school I am going to or live in the house I am living or wear the clothes I wear or be able to walk down the street without someone calling me a nigger. That is what Martin Luther King Day means to me.
