Talk to him about how to catch a man and become something to him
Answer:
Martin Luther King Jr. is an inspiration to me. He was born Jaunary 13, 1929, and attended Morehouse College at the age of 15. Martin was inspired by Henry David Thoreau, Mahatma Gandhi, and many influental leaders of the past. He led the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955, and was arrested for peacefully protesting in 1960. Based on MLK’s work, the Interstate Commerce Commission banned segregation in interstate travel. On June 23, he led a group of 125,000 people in a Freedom Walk in Detroit, and on August 28, he joins more than 250,000 people in the March on Washington and delivers the famous “I Have a Dream” speech. He was awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, and unfortunately was assinated in 1968, at the age of only 39.
Despite all the hatred and discrimination he endured, he kept a peaceful outlook. Non-violent protesting was his method against racism. Looking at his life, we can learn that hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.
Hope this helps!
A day to celebrate the life and dream of Martin Luther King, Jr.
A day to reaffirm the American ideals of freedom, justice, and opportunity for all
A day to love not hate, for understanding not anger, for peace not war.
A day for family, to share together, to reach out to relatives and friends, and to mend broken relationships.
A day when community rids itself of the barriers that divide it and comes together as one.
A day when people of all races, religions, classes, and stations in life put aside their differences and join in a spirit of togetherness.
A day for our Nation to pay tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr., who awakened in us the best qualities of the American spirit.
A day for nations of the world to cease all violent actions, seek nonviolent solutions, and demonstrate that peace is not just a dream but a real possibility, if only for one day.
If for only one day, each of us serves as a "drum major for justice and peace," then we bring to life the inspiring vision of freedom of which Martin Luther King, Jr., dreamed.
