Mr. Carson who is Martin Luther king . One side of him is a famous individual. He was a 1964 winner of the nobel peace prize. He was the most influential leader of a great social movement. Who wase only american honored with a National Holiday in his name. That is the uniqueness practically everybody in the world knows the name Martin Luther king. The question i would like to address in this setting is who really was Martin Luther king . Advantages of using a setting like this is that we can really practice history to which it be. It should not be about names and dates that you remember. It should be about the study of the things that survive from the past. That is why a site, a historical site, is so important.
