Martin Luther King

MLK was a great person who many of us have learned about starting in elementary school. It brings me to think that his work was worth it because today we have a President of color and in MLK days that would have definitely not been accepted. It brings me to think that because of a mans great work and fight racial discrimination, today we live in a society where we are built up of many different cultures and people of all kinds of skin color.

Dr. King said, "We are not advocating violence. We want to love our enemies. I want you to love our enemies. Be good to them. This is what we live by. We must meet hate with love."Although whites didn't like African Americans, Dr. King did not hate them, rather her wanted to be at peace with them. His speeches, his work, and everything that he did is today remembered and because of that there are many of us that believe in social change, social diversity and that all our dreams can indeed come true. No one can stop you from speaking your mind on a particular topic, you can do just about anything you set your mind to. Just like Dr. King was murdered for supporting a strike for the rights of others, we to can today keep making change happen. He wasn't only a social activist, but her was also a brave man who did not care what others thought about him, the color of his skin, etc. He did not give up because he wanted to be heard and he wanted to see change!
