Actually yes. It's just about a fact that every MLK street has been in a black neighborhood.

Not sure why, maybe you can tell me?

speak your mind and tell me how I am wrong. MLK did about 1/8th of what people like rosa parks, frederick douglass, and george washington carver did for black people. he is popular because we have a soundbyte of his speech. if you think otherwise, oh well.

And Obama is a great speaker but he is by far no JFK, no matter how he wants to be.
