Martin Luther King Jr. (born Michael King Jr.; January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an African American minister and activist who became the most visible spokesperson and leader in the civil rights movement from 1955 until his assassination in 1968. King is best known for advancing civil rights through nonviolence and civil disobedience, inspired by his Christian beliefs and the nonviolent activism of Mahatma Gandhi. Wait wait who put this amazing person in here he said what he thought was right he was such a great man such an inspiration he tried to stop racism. And the guy who put martin Luther king Jr. Was probably racist
I could not believe he was on the other list. Thought a racist must have put him on there
He only added him to fill up dishonorable mentions and he isn't racist
Why. Just why. Who would be stupid enough to put him on here?
Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American singer and actor. Dubbed the "King of Rock and Roll", he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century. His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, led him to both great success and initial controversy. ...read more. Very important on a social cultural level. He changed and gived teenagers a lifestyle on their own, opened doors to white America with music that originated from black people etc... He was not " only " a singer, he really started a cultural revolution not only in America but also worldwide. He is really an American icon ( and a universal icon as well ) that influenced many singers and bands ( some indirectely ) that came after him. An important legend in music and culture.
How else could we have Rock and Roll?

John Calvin Coolidge Jr. was an American politician and the 30th President of the United States. A Republican lawyer from New England, born in Vermont, Coolidge worked his way up the ladder of Massachusetts state politics, eventually becoming governor.

Michael is also known as The King of Pop (a title given to him by Elizabeth Taylor) or under the initials MJ. Dubbed the King of Pop, he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures of the 20th century. ...read more. IIf Michael Jackson is ranked lower than Elvis Presley it's because Elvis was more important on a social cultural level and in pop-culture than Michael Jackson. I don't say that Elvis or Michael should be on a " least important " list but if you put the history in context it's obvious that Elvis was more important. Elvis opened doors in the fifties for black people when these were times that black people hadn't the same rights as white people. He changed teenage codes ( hairstyle, clothes etc... ) and he was the first " worldwide " teenage idol. Michael Jackson is simply from another era when things were already changed. He did give his contribution as well in music and culture but those can not be compared to the social changes that Elvis did in the fifties. You can prefer Michael Jackson over Elvis Presley but if you deny the history facts just because you prefer Michael Jackson than you're no more than a jealous or angry fan to see your preference ranked lower without any SERIOUS ...more
Because Elvis was MUCH more important than MJ, both culturally and musically.
