During the time period of the civil rights movement the most prominent figure in the African American community was Martin Luther King Jr. Martin Luther King Jr. believed that segregation and racial discrimination are terrible sins. He spoke out against racial discrimination and rallied the African American community to begin to rebel against the segregation laws. This issue was surrounded by so much controversy that Martin Luther King Jr. was killed for his beliefs. In this case the Japanese saying

would have saved Martin Luther King's life. If Martin Luther King Jr. had followed this proverb he may still be alive today. This is why I feel that Martin Luther King Jr. should not have drawn so much attention to himself during the civil rights movement.

Another supporter of the civil rights movement was John F. Kennedy. He supported reform in legislation for equal rights. He was one of the most popular presidents in the history of the United States. He too did not follow the adage that this saying expresses. Thus, he was assassinated in Dallas during a motorcade. This historical event proves that if a person is too popular he may be the target of many people who disagree wit his thoughts. If this president had followed this adage he would most likely still be alive. John F. Kennedy's story proves that death threatens those who do not keep a low profile in life.
