Well, I'm setting myself up for a lot of thumbs down, but that's okay!. Martin Luther King, Jr!. did a lot of good things, and there are dozens of books and websites dedicated to those things that he did!. But he was human, and as a human he was fallible!. He made mistakes!. For example, he plagiarized his doctoral dissertation!. As unfortunate as it is, just because he was a great orator with the ability to unify people to stand up for a central cause does not make him any better a person than the rest of the human race!. His is as heroic as everybody else!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Martin Luther King Jr, was very heroic!. Standing up to the inequities between blacks and whites at a time when that was not very popular among white folks, to say the least!.

There are a lot of books out there about his life!. It's well worth getting one of them and reading it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

fighting for your natural birthrights when everyone around you is talking you down while threatening to kill you!.!.!.!. and dying for it, pretty honorable to me, and I hate black history month!. Can they shove it down my throat some more!? I know more about black history than the history of my birth country!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not particularly heroic, just a charismatic preacher with a message to spread!. If by heroic you mean brave, he was that!. Stood up & died for what he believed in!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

He died because he was trying to make men free and knew it could happen when he started on his path!.

Can't get much more heroic than that!.
