Did Martin Luther King Jr impact this nation in a positive way.

First I will offer some direct rebuttals. Prior to this, everything that my adversary posted in the first round, he has admitting to using snopes as a source. This is not credible nor acceptable.Hypothetically if he wanted to have sex with hookers or multiple women, it is a non factor in this debate. It just shows he is as much a human as the rest of us. It still does not take away from the fact that he brought about reform in America that was much needed. Rebuttal 1"The Civil Rights Act of 1964 gave the federal government unprecedented power over the hiring, employee relations, and customer service practices of every business in the country. The result was a massive violation of the rights of private property and contract, which are the bedrocks of free society."My adversary is saying the civil rights act breaches the freedoms because it allows the government a say in whom we can or can not hire. This is true in a sense, but it also stops discrimination. It guarantees African Americans the same job chances we have, it promises the same pay. This is a promise that is embedded in the constitution itself. When our forefathers wrote of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that was not directly for Caucasians only. What DR King stood up for was equality as a whole. That all races, religions, and people of different sexual orientations would be treated equally. He was not a modern black rights activist that didn't give a damn about anyone but his own race. He sincerely loved everyone, and believed in what he was fighting for. That is why we he gave his speech, "I have a dream" it was as powerful as it was. It was not just words that he was speaking, but he was demonstrating and expressing what he sincerely thought and believed was an issue that plagued our nation. Since then we have made great advances in accepting people regardless of sex, religion, and sexual orientation. While most people may not agree with some of the issues politically, it is because of Dr King that we have all learned a lesson in loving each other and giving everyone an equal chance. This echos in the work place itself.Rebuttal 2Economic prosperityTake this for example.Pretend this movement didn't occur and we could discriminate against whom we wanted to hire. There is a job offering in a local law firm. There are two applicants who submitted and application. The owner of the firm is extremely racist and can not stand black people. He believes he can pick and chose whom he wants to hireApplicant A - A white male whom is around 22 years of age. He has never had a job and is attending a local community college. Applicant B - This is an African American whom has had a great job history. He worked his way through his bachelors degree. He attended college maintained a 3.5 gpa, while never missing a day of full time work. He put himself through college because his family could not support him. If you allowed discrimination, not only would it promote and encourage a lack of education but it would damage the company economically. New generations would see that because of their race , they would not need to put work or effort into getting a job, but cold be rewarded because of their gender or race. Not only that, if they were to award the person whom is under qualified this high level position, in most cases he would not know how to handle the job. So it could severely damage the company. It is the companies right to hire whom they see fit, this is still active today. What the equal rights act does, is promise that when they make that decision there are factors that do not play a role in it. Such as race, gender, and religion. In both cases however it is entirely obvious that discrimination is the worst choice that could be made. It hurts the company and offers the wrong message to people whom are hunting jobs. In ClosingI am quite happy that Michael King stood up for what he believed in. I am also thankful that he was a better man than I ever could hope to be. Because of his sacrifice, we can truly uphold life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and offer it to all races, genders, and religions. This is the land of the free, and because of his sacrifice, everyone has a shot at being free.
