King Still King?

I would like to think that Dr. King is still King but really how relevant is he? His message and lifestyle about equality and civil disobedience still rings in the ears of genenations around the U.S. and maybe even around the world. But to me he's been the only figure that we as a people have had to look at and he's become pretty overrated. Black history has been revolved around him and a few others. Of course what he did and believed was extraordinary but I believe it is time to let a new King reign. There are quite a few others who I feel could be king or even queen. More modern day people like Oprah or Barack Obama should have their time now. They have influenced the lives of not only the american people but also people across the globe. But even they are just a footnote in the change of role models for the generations to come. Even people in our generation are doing outstanding things everyday and nobody knows about them. Now I won't fully admit that Dr. King is not king anymore but don't you think it's time for a different reign? Do you think we just take pity and sympathize on the fact that he was killed and we keep him in reign?
