Based on what he has said in his writings, I think Barack Obama would be very honored to meet Martin Luther King. Mr. Obama admired what Dr. King did for civil rights. Unfortunately, Dr. King died in 1968, when Barack Obama was just seven years old, so they never were able to meet. But Mr. Obama is aware that many of the improvements in society that young black people of his generation enjoyed occurred because of what people like Dr. King did. I am sure he would express his gratitude and respect to Dr. King if they had been able to meet.

What did Barack Obama and Martin Luther King do?

They did not do anything together, because they lived in different eras. But Barack Obama was inspired by what Martin Luther King did. Dr. King was a great preacher and civil rights leader who lived when America was still segregated. He helped to change the attitude of Americans towards granting full equality to black people. His 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech is still well-known and widely respected as a defining moment in the fight for civil rights. Dr. King was assassinated in 1968. Barack Obama grew up with more rights and opportunities, thanks to the efforts of people like Martin Luther King, and that is why Dr. King has always been a hero of President Obama's. Mr. Obama became America's first black president in 2008, and it would not have happened if the civil rights movement had not been successful.


What does Martin Luther King Jr know that president elect-obama doesnt?

This is a very old question (perhaps from late 2008? "President-elect" refers to someone who is not yet president but was elected and will take office soon). Martin Luther King Jr. was one of Barack Obama's heroes and while the two lived in different eras, President Obama remains grateful for what the leaders of the Civil Rights Movement achieved. But the two men never talked with each other, so it is difficult to say what Dr. King knew that he would have liked to tell Barack Obama.

How is Barack Obama different from Martin Luther King?

For one thing, Dr. King is dead, while Mr. Obama is still alive. For another, Dr. King was a minister, while Mr. Obama was never a member of the clergy. And the biggest difference is that Dr. King lived under segregation, while Mr. Obama never did-- in fact, Dr. King, as one of the leaders of the Civil Rights Movement, helped to end segregation so that the next generation, which included Barack Obama, would have more opportunities in life.
