Dear Dr. MLK,
I personally think that you're a pretty cool person and I think that the issues and difficulties you faced are not as apparent as of now. Our president currently is the first black president in American history and I'm pretty sure you would have wanted to live up to the 20th of January of year 2009 to see him be inaugurated. Now, African Americans are respected and treated like everyone else--like Americans. Will Smith and Bill Cosby are one of the funniest comedians around, Alicia Keys and Chris Brown have made fortunes as talented singers, and Derrick Rose was named 'Rookie of the Year'. I personally admire the guy who operates 'Elmo' from Sesame Street. I wish you were here to see how far your people have come and I want you to know that you contributed to their success.
Sincerely,
A student who goes to a Whitney Young Highschool which has the best African American principal
