I would love to be added as a writer here! My name is Robert Howells and my favorite historical figure is Martin Luther King Jr. I do not know that I could withstand the abuse that he did and do so much for his cause. I think judging people by today's history is a both question instead of a yes or no. I think we can definitely judge people by today, but we also must include in our analysis how people back then believed and behaved and to acknowledge that people in the future are probably going to judge us very differently than we judge ourselves today.
