The legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King is one that will be talked about for generations to come. His biggest accomplishment were voting right law and civil rights law been enforced. Furthermore, Dr. King is accredited for greatly attributing to the humans right movement. The human rights movement can be split up into three sections and Dr. King was part of the last movement that accomplished the "dream". I believe that peoples voting rights have not been taken away in the state of California. In other states like Pennsylvania, I think that peoples voting rights are being violated, but no one cares because it does not effect them until their old. I have not witnessed any voting discrimination in my area, but I have witnessed people that can vote not caring about voting. The only group that cannot vote in America are convicted felons, but I really do not know if we want convicted felons to vote? The other thing is, I believe that everyone who was involved in the human rights movement should deserve recognition, for example, Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, and so an, so we can acknowledge everyone. Many people take for granted having the right to vote and do not vote because they believe that the U.S. Government is corrupt. People should be grateful that we have the right to vote, in other countries they just say, "This guy is your new leader now," and no one can complain or do anything about it. The problem that we have in our country today is voting fraud, or at least we think that we have. The first time that I heard of voting fraud was in the 2000s election when it was Bush Vs. Gore. The issue was that Florida, was govern by Bush's brother, had voting issues, and Bush ended up winning the elections as a result. I would of liked it better if Al Gore would of won the election.
