The Civil Rights movement may be taught in History class, but the messages are just as apparent today. We must celebrate who we are as individuals, but also, that we are one race united. If we do not know that we come from different backgrounds, races, religions, and cultures, then we don’t understand the true words of MLK.

Not all African Americans felt that this was a smart idea since most were raised to fear whites and to be respectful to them.

This shows that the unknown citizen was average. Never getting fired isn’t an accomplishment that should be memorialized, but the government wants other citizens to be as average as the unknowncitizen.
