The Martin Luther King that the mainstream don't show you

Just a thought, the penny is being redisigned in 2010, and in 2009 they will not produce pennies. The plan is to stick with Lincoln, but their is a small movement to have Martin Luther King replace Lincoln on the penny, since Lincoln is on the $5 bill. What do people think?

that Hail Mary beat was crazy too. I doubt he would like it, but for today's generation, I think it adds to the fact that it sounds like his talking for the grave. I can get the whole speech that he said all this, but it's 22 minutes, and who would honestly listen to it. Also, no hip-hop beat... lol. But, it is an amazing speech, the sad shit is that you can substitute Vietnam for Iraq, and it's almost the same thing.

Hook me up! Those long speeches always get me hyped. As for the pennies... Yeah, give MLK his penny!

The penny thing was a small movement. I've heard journalist say give King the $20, because Andrew Jackson was a Native killer and slave owner, and what better way to replace him than to put King on there. The penny movement came because in 2010, they are redisigning the penny, and some felt that King should be put on there. Congress stuck with Lincoln. Congress did however vote to put Ronald Reagan on the dime, but Nancy Reagan didn't want to see FDR leave the currency system, so that was squashed.
