Martin Luther King Jr. Day VS. Veteran's Day



I think that  learning more about Martin Luther King Jr. is better than learning more about our veterans that served in the war. We've already learned so much about the wars, yet we barely even talk about the history about slavery and boycotting and marching down streets, wanting freedom to their kin. It is important to learn about ALL American history, instead of just hinting about the slavery and focusing on what our Founding Fathers and great American leaders were doing at the time. Slavery was a problem back then, and that's why Abraham Lincoln spoke a speech to end it. Today, most people don't judge other people by their skin color, 'cause that time has passed, but we should dig deeper into the subject, and find hidden truths behind what we already know.
