    One of the most difficult things to be is the son of a man who changed the world. It's something very, very few people can understand or sympathize with. It's far more difficult than being the child of someone famous. MLK Jr was globally iconic. The weight of living in that shadow can not be overstated. You are unable to fully have your own identity. You are judged and looked at by your historic and iconic father.

    Dexter accepted that and lived his life as best as he could to not hurt his father's legacy and carved out little niche for himself.

    May he rest in power.
