Rosa Parks.
The Civil rights movement in America in the 1960's has been the inspiration to many key historical events world wide since. It was Rosa Parks who was really the fuel behind this fire, this challenge to white authority in the 'Deep South.'
It is always ordinary people who come to the fore in world history, like Jerry Adams, Lec Valensa, Winnie Mandela and so forth.
We remember Luther-King, because he and two of the Kennedy family were assassinated, Nelson Mandela imprisoned for a long time and many others elected into leadership after long periods of persecution.
Jesus to was an ordinary man, He was not attractive as continues to be falsely portrayed. He was misunderstood and gravely persecuted for us.
Psalm 69:10-12, 19-20, Isaiah chapter 53, 53:3, John 1: 10-11, Acts 3:13-15.

'I Have a Dream.' Part-One.
Dr. Martin Luther-King.
'I have a dream are perhaps the most profound words to be spoken in the 20th Century, spoken by a black man the descendant of slaves. Slaves who where brought to America in the 17th-18th Century by European white plantation owners from the Caribbean islands,
Slavery has always and continues today to be big business. When anyone is forced to do work and imprisoned against their will we are dealing with slavery.
Black Americans and Black British West-Indians know their roots, from the cotton fields of the Southern States and the sugar cane of the Caribbean.
Not all Europeans in these regions kept slaves, in fact many German and Dutch Christians bought slaves and set them free, within their confined communities. Christianity replaced a mixture of pagan beliefs and has proved to both the establishment and white society their hypocritical and double standards that continue to this day.
Acts 2:17, Isaiah 40:5.
