But he said, ‘If I am stopped, the movement will not stop. . . . For what we are doing is right’".

This excerpt shows that Martin Luther King was even willing to die for the cause he believed in and the struggle for social justice; therefore, these words present a figure whose life was marked by sacrifice and determination, which were highly necessary to achieve his main goals: freedom, equality and justice. Martin Luther King gave up his life for a better cause when he was assassinated in 1968 due to the fact he became the leader of the Civil Rights Movement.
