There’s another element to deifying him that rubs me wrong too: When you see statues of him, monuments erected in his honor, pictures hung on people’s walls right next to white Jesus, , it gives the impression that he was superhuman. And he wasn’t. At the end of the day, he was simply a man who stood up. Period. And that’s something we can all do. So don’t fall for the hype. Dr. King was a regular guy who put his pants on one leg at a time just like the rest of us. And what he did through his life, we can each do in our own way through our own individual lives.
