<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1370696, member: 36230&quot;]The &quot;MLK&quot; honored today is more of a mythical figure than a real person. It seems as if people have placed the ideals of the movement into it&#039;s best-known &quot;martyr&quot;. Is either the real MLK or mythical MLK worthy of a circulation coin? IMHO, absolutely not, nor do I believe him worthy of a commem. The civil right movement as a whole, yes.. the man, no. Its time we - as a nation - stop &quot;honoring&quot; anything and everything. What ever happened to simple, unspoken respect?</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Lady Liberty&quot; was - and is - symbolism for our country much in the same way as the bald eagle. There is no sense in reading into this deeper than necessary. This was also posted (same OP) on the CU forums and the reactions received are a good indicator as to how the numismatic community as a whole views this issue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
