Effective presidents and charismatic leaders get things done when they work as a team. Dr. Martin Luther King changed the course of American history and President Lyndon B. Johnson put those changes into law. Dr. King was a visionary. President Johnson knew how to get legislation enacted. As a team, these two men shared a belief in human equality. They changed human rights in the United States forever.
What else is there to say?

Yes, but their contributions were not equal. Dr.MLK was a black man fighting against racism. That is a very difficult job. Much more difficult than a white man fighting against racism. This is not to minimize President's contribution, but only to say that let's be aware of the privilege situation within that "team".
Yes, in this time of race-based politics, it is easy to flame race hatred as is shown by shouts of people at Republican political rallies.
