<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 356001, member: 6370&quot;]Nice tactic <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />...I would like to see him on the coin not because he is black but because he is a great American that happens to be black. There are MANY great black Americans like say...Percy Julian, that wont be on a coin but did great things and over came institutionalized racism, something MLK help change. Lot of great people on our coins, why not. If there are Asians, homosexuals, or Jewish people who have contributed so much for freedom, change and equal rights, a person who did so much to change the direction of our society for the better and people want them on a coin they can certainly propose them and if enough agree....no problem here.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>MLK was just a great man but there are some who understand more how drastically he changed things for the better, or werent a part of the group of people who most benefited from his efforts so they dont care to see it...I realized when I read this:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.stanford.edu/group/King/popular_requests/frequentdocs/birmingham.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.stanford.edu/group/King/popular_requests/frequentdocs/birmingham.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.stanford.edu/group/King/popular_requests/frequentdocs/birmingham.pdf</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As well as many other reasons of course.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, if a person doesnt want MLK on a coin they are racist!!!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Just kidding...I understand there are either people who dont care, dont care for him, or dont care for ANYONE being on our coins. I like coins with portraits who had profound effects and contributions to our nation and fill our history so I am all for us sticking to that...just personal taste.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
