This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Why do you think it took over fifteen years for a holiday to be created when lawmakers started to act just days after King's assassination?

Answer:

I think that it was the remaining racism in both society and the government that made the establishment of a national holiday in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. so difficult.

Explanation:

The main reasons those who opposed the holiday gave were that it would be too costly and it wouldn´t be correct to honor someone who may have been a communist. These reasons are rather weak. First of all, there´s no proof of King´s association with communism. Furthermore, setting any holiday should not be based on its cost but its social relevance, which, as the many demonstrations demanding for the holiday showed, had already been established.

Considering the lack of solid reasons for the holiday not to be established, and the support the campaign in favor of the holiday got from different organizations working on equal rights for African Americans, I can only infer that there was a political interest in King´s ideas not becoming more popular.

How did Galileo Galilei help progress the world in the Age of Reason, and how did his work help shape the world we see today?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

He helped created modern astronomy.

Explanation:

In early 1610, he made the first in a remarkable series of discoveries. While the scientific doctrine of the day held that space was perfect, unchanging environments created by God, Galileo's telescope helped change that view. He used the telescope to revolutionise astronomy which had relied for millennia on observations and measurements made with the naked eye.
