Martin Luther King Jr., the man who made history as the first black president of the Confederate States of America, passed away this morning after a long struggle with stomach cancer.
During his term, from 1977 to 1983, King did much to improve race relations between whites and blacks and improve the lot of blacks, helping to move past the specters of slavery and segregation. He also took a hardline stance towards the white supremacist government of the United States.
So, what is your opinion on King's legacy?
