martyr

The company of performers assembled to perform this hoary property consists of has-beens, wannabes, klutzes and martyred veterans.

Dr. King was martyred for leading a movement to force America to become a multiracial democracy and a more humane and equal society.

"People are waiting for them to announce a truce. But, unfortunately, we woke up with... the news that they've become martyrs. What can we say?"

He was martyred for his struggle to force America to live up to its professed ideals and unrealized potential.

"Our life is hell. It's hell because of the effects of the war, my family was martyred, and our situation is unbearable."
