Is King Still King?

Dr. Martin Luther King is definitely still King. I feel that as long as your legacy lives on so do you, and King's ideologies are brought in our era all the time and they are still relevant. Just the other day Whitney Young's niece came to speak to us on show us part of the documentary that she has been working for in dedication to her uncle. In the documentary it shows him working with many civil rights activists, including Dr. Martin Luther King. In the video it was obvious that Whitney Young valued the friendship and the work ethic and methods of King. It was truly moving. I also feel that as we look around today we can still see that he is King by the comparisons that they make between he and others, especially Barack Obama. Having great people say that they admire you and the things you did is a huge honor.

My Favorite Songgggg.

My favorite song of all times comes from the debut album Spirit by Leona Lewis. The song is Bleeding Love. I feel that Leona Lewis did beautiful work on this album but the lyrics of Bleeding Love are extremely relate-able and touching. Yet, this is still not the reason that this is my favorite song. The vocal range and power that was shown in this song is absolutely amazing to me. I feel that no one could ever sing this song as good or nearly as good as she did, which I feel always speaks volumes for the artist. Absolutely amazing piece of work.
