Martin Luther King. Jr. was not the flawless individual he is made out to be by certain segments of the American population. A number of his associations, life choices, and professed beliefs were at times highly questionable. However, to graft together the countenances of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Trayvon Martin into a single image plastered on a t-shirt as if they are of equal stature is a step too far. In his brief 39 years, Martin Luther King earned a Bachelor of Art in Sociology, a Bachelor of Divinity, and a PhD in Systematic Theology while also pastoring a church and composing numerous rhetorical works. Though academic achievement is not necessarily a determining measure of individual character, Trayvon Martin wasn’t even able to keep his nose clean enough to prevent from being kicked out of high school.
