As we observe the national holiday to honor the birth of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we want to know what you consider to be King's legacy.

Some have argued that the more King is honored — and essentially deified — the more his life and works are homogenized, altered and simplified. Agree?

When King was assassinated in April of 1968, he was supporting garbage collectors who were on strike. What issues do you think King would champion if he were alive today? And how are you observing King Day?
