What Martin Luther King Means To Me

729 Words3 Pages

This quote means to me that there’s people in the world who don’t take the word no as an answer. Leaders are people who will prove to those who don’t believe that dreams can come true. Leaders are the people who will prove non- believers wrong, and make them believe in anything becoming possible. Martin Luther King Jr. is a leader who has inspired me. He has showed me that I shouldn’t let my dreams just be dreams. This means that I should get out and make a change to the world, just as he did. He has inspired me by his actions, words, and personality. He is known for the non-violent ways in which he carried on and led the civil rights movement. He fought for racial equality and showed the people a picture of a better future where all men are equal. Courage, confidence, perseverance and the will to fight for what’s right made him a great leader.

My friends, Charlize and Gabby, created our own cupcakes. We mixed dyes in the icing to create different colored frostings. The cupcakes we made were very delicious. We ate over three cupcakes each.
I had an idea to make the party even more fun than it was. I took a cupcake and smacked it into Charlize’s face. Her facial expression was hilarious when it landed onto her face. In revenge, she throws at me, but I duck and it gets Gabby instead. All three of us wasted about ten cupcakes by having a cupcake war. We laughed, spilled on the floor, and ran in fear.
We all panicked at the mess we made and scrambled around the basement to clean it up. I took a bottle of dish detergent and poured it all over my basement floor. Gabby came running in with paper towels but spilled and fell because of all the soap. It was such a funny thing, seeing her fall. We were able to clean up the mess in time before my mom back downstairs with

    This quote means that you have to work to make change and change does not come overnight. Through all of the work that MLK did with the civil rights movement change came eventually and it even got the civil rights act of 1968 signed by the president at the time Lyndon B. Johnson as a result of all of the work that MLK did. Im sure he was tired but he never gave up for his cause. The sacrifice and suffering was all of the people who should have their natural rights taken away from them as a result of racism and the treating of african americans at the time. MLK led a peaceful protest through the people who agreed with his ideas and that is the best way to get your ideas known which is why his movement was so successful.

With such an enthralling rhetoric he gained a vast amount of support and exponentially increased the pride in standing up for what’s righteous and just. Exemplifying the throes of being a colored person, King evoked sympathy whilst simultaneously applying the valid logic that no human should be subjected to lesser standards. His rhetoric wholly changed American history that day and thus conveyed his ability to maintain equanimity throughout all of the
