He was one of the Illuminati members sent to preach equality and justice for all people. God. Love. Don't you know? He caused such an incredible movement for Civil Rights and was then killed in his hotel room because of the changes that might happen if he continued on. Get real! I hope your comment was a joke.

As the Ancient Greeks said: "The centuries copy each other." Sadly, that is true.
