I think the black community has many other leaders and heroes that had a better record in the community.

Like?

Nice sucker punch!

I can't come up with any respected black leaders from that era either.

Like almost anyone. Edmund Brooke, George Washington Carver, etc. Just look today -- anyone not agreeing with keeping blacks on the plantation is called an "Uncle Tom" because they don't fit the stereotype they have placed upon themselves. Clarence Thomas, Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell or any other black conservative are just not acceptable.

Coleman Young. He was the best at fostering understanding.

Perosnally, I would love to see a holiday for Frederick Douglas instead of King.

Of course, that would mean people would have to actually KNOW who the hell he was and what he did.
