Martin Luther King Drive Coming to D.C.

Washington D.C. has decided to add to its great civil rights history by adding a 4 mile streech of streets will be named after the great Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Junior. Martin Luther King Jr. has given as much to this nation as many of our former great leaders, so I find it fitting that he has a part of the streets in the nations capital named after him. After all the Dr. King gave this country he is well deserving of the honor. To me this also serves as a way for the D.C. officials to use the media and public relations to help hem in public opinion. Media has always helped to shape the opinion of the public.This is Council Member Marion Berry's attempt to get some good public relations through associating himself with honoring this American hero. This is a clear example of a portion of what was referenced in "The Civil Rights Movement and Mass Media". It is not entirely what the article talks about, but it is an example of using media to help public perception.
