One of this is the Highlander Folk School on which document 4 is about. Highlander was a center for training civil rights activists and labor organizers and it was really important because of the education it gave to Rosa Parks that eventually led her to to do what she did.

Belicia had a difficult life growing up without a father, mother, and her two sisters.

There was also Malala Yousafzai, who survived a head shot wound, fought against the tyranny of the Pakistani Taliban, and promoted women’s rights and the right for education everywhere. These two historic figures have done their part to shape the world into a better place and, unlike Yousafzai, as she still continues her work today, King pursued his fight until the day he died.
