2) On the Martin Luther King web I think that I would find a useful info. about what he did in his life and how he changed the black America's history and also how he was killed and who was involved.

3) My first impression of the web (http://www.martinlutherking.org/) is that it is well researched and allots of time spent on the web and allot of effort put into it.

4) I don't think that the web (http://www.martinlutherking.org/)is very useful cause doesn't actual tell you much about Martin Luther king and it also talks about the US more than the King.
