In Martin Luther King Jr.'s eyes


Started as a vision of a free nation then into a life of domination, life as I knew it was about race and the creators are just playing a game. The Constitution says every man is created free but racism really took over life as I can, having separation of almost every right gives me motivation to enact the Civil Rights. As it started with support there came later some reports, that my house was put to flames and now I'm in jail without a shame. I was later shot to death on one day who is the definition of James Earl Ray, and even though I died I still gave it a well-known try. I will forever have a legacy of visioning a spectacular dream, this everyone is purely equal.
