Great Episode.


I'm torn between MLK and JFK pretty evenly. I think they were both in positions to continue making positive changes for this nation before their untimely and unfortunate assassinations. So I'll go with Malcolm X who was killed shortly after he changed his message to a peaceful one for everyone. What's up with that?

Musician, I'd go with B.I.G. The game just hasn't been the same since both Biggie and Tupac were murdered.

I would have to go with Lincoln as well. The political field would have been much different had he lived (for the better).

The Speaker who was assassinated in the early 1900s. By that death squad. I apologize for my lack of remembering, but it began world war 1. Though it most likely would have started on other means either way.

John Lennon or JFK for me. Both heroes in their own right.

I knew my answer as soon as I saw this thread: MLK Jr.

He was making so much progress for black Americans and his enthusiasm and charisma were unbeatable. I'll agree with whoever was talking about the Boondocks episode where he was brought back to life, he'd be extremely ashamed with how the world turned out.
