Michael Luther King Jr. was born in Atlanta, Georgia on January 5, 1929 to Martin Luther King Sr. and Alberta Williams King, the second of three children. King’s residence in Atlanta saw a city filled with segregation. Most residents of color were treated as if they were the bottom of the barrel. They would only be allowed to shop in the back of stores, and were not allowed to eat at the counters in restaurants. There was however, a small black “middle-class” population in Atlanta which included teachers, ministers, and doctors (Haskins, 1977). The adults within this population encouraged their young black children to engage in education as it was one of the only options for these children that would

A hero is a man or woman that leaves their known world to go off into the unknown world, and go make a positive impact. Heroes aren’t just the big strong super heroes that can fly and shoot laser beams out of their eyes. There is more behind the superheroes than just killing the bad guy. For example, Batman was called to adventure when his parents were killed and he was sitting right there watching. Bruce left his home town to go out get training to become a crime fighter. He ended up saving the whole town for being destroyed and taken over. Heroes are people that have great character, want to do good, and wouldn’t ever do something bad to harm an innocent person.

“ I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear” - Martin Luther King Jr. (Garland). We all know and learn about the famous Dr. King and what he did, but do we actually follow up his role in our own lives? Martin Luther King Jr. is famous for his non-violent protests and teachings inspired by Ghandi. We should not just take Dr. King’s work for granted, but rather be grateful that he did what he did. I know that I personally am very thankful for him because I have many friends who are colored and would be treated differently today if he didn’t step into action. Without him, our world would be a very different place. Martin Luther King showed us that violence is not the answer. The truth is, he is exactly right. We need to be more like Dr. King and live out his dream in our own lives by fighting hate with love, inspiring others to do good, and being good leaders.

In the past the city had made many false promises and devastated countless aspirations. The direct action campaign is the only alternative when negotiations fail due to white leaders refusing them. Moreover, direct action creates chaos that forces them to negotiate. King next addresses the reason why he did not wait to see if the new administration within the city a chance to remedy the injustice was that Boutwell is still a segregationist, and “the ‘wait’ has almost always meant ‘never’”, so the black Americans cannot wait any longer.

When you think of a good leader you think of someone who can influence and lead people. Good leaders do the right things for the people their leading and fight for whats right.

He played a very big role in ending segregation of African Americans in the U.S.(Biography, 2018). With all his great accomplishments he was able to be a great leader of this movement.

Growing up I was always the odd one in our family. When my parents started having children, they did not plan us very well. I am 5 years younger than my older brother, 4 years younger than my sister and 8 years older than my younger brother. I was the child that did not have anyone to "play" with, and I grew accustomed to being alone. However, as the years went on I learned to become a more sophisticated person all thanks to a student-led organiztion.

Martin Luther King Jr’s Letter from Birmingham Jail is an exquisite testament of human civility. The fact that King was determined enough to write such a powerful letter from the confinement of a jail cell speaks volumes. He could have simply sat back and succumbed to the individuals trying to overshadow him, however, King choose to exalt his freedom of speech in an empowering fashion. At the start of the letter, King states that “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly.” The sentiments from this line alone evokes a subdued, yet powerful message. If one individual or group of individuals is singled out, harassed to the point where they no longer possess the will to live by a fellow American, what does that say about the country? Martin Luther King Jr. makes it clear that being shunned by fellow citizens should not even be an option, if we are all Americans, we should all stand tall together.

Martin Luther King Jr. was the most important civil rights leader of his time.

"Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective." These are the words of the one and only Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a distinguished leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. Perspective change is an important tool when speaking in regards to other people’s feelings, and putting oneself in someone else’s shoes can have a tremendous impact on his/her outlook. My perspective on my mom changed greatly when she and my dad went on vacation for a week and left my brother and me with our grandma.
