Albert King was a blues musician and every year at the IBC blues competition in Memphis the "Albert King Award" is given to the top blues guitarist of the year.
Martin Luther King Jr. is said to have brought civil rights to light in the 60's, but don't forget MalcolmX! The freedom of slaves was part of the Civil Wars outcome, the Emancipation Proclamation, but civil action by general white society (Such as the formulation of the KKK and other racist groups who's main goal was lynchings and destruction of the non-angelo people) over the next 100 years shows that a piece of paper means nothing. King Jr. and X taught the lesson of pride and honor to the world (not just to one race but all races!), the lesson never learned; equality, written 100 years ago by a white man after the civil war. The society at the time (90%) wouldn't listen to any intelligent black man anyway. Back in the 1800's, Chicago was the first liberal big city in the union, and they still are the most integrated city in the world! It was ironic (or was it?) that King Jr. was killed there. Hope this helps you find clarity in your question.

They don't want to believe that it was the North. They would rather see it as something from within, even though that is not the case.
FYI: It was the republican party which freed the slaves and the democrats which fought against it. But Blacks now vote democrat by the margin of 25:1.
Senator Robert Byrd (democrat) who is currently serving was also a member of the KKK.
Funny Huh...

you mean Martin Luther King?
President Lincoln set them physically free during the Civil War - Martin Luther King did his best to spiritually set them free - which creates physical freedom.

hehe. dunno about albert king, but the white yankees didn't free the blacks. yes, they were not slaves anymore but they were not much better off. actually some of them were worse off because there were some who were lucky enough to have good masters. yanks might have given them their official freedom but they only treated them like **** as workers. they ignored them or kept treating them like they were inferior. true freedom for the black people came around the 1960s with martin luther king.
