It is important to remember these inspirational words and advice from Martin Luther King Jr. (Dr. King). He paved the way for people and activists in our world today. Without him, our world would not be the same as it is today.
Martin Luther King Jr. was born in 1929 January 15th. He received many different degrees and was a very highly educated and respected person in our society. Some education he received includes: BA in sociology from Morehouse College, and, a Ph.D. in systematic theology from Boston University, and that is not all. He also was married to Coretta Scott and had 4 children with her. He was a pastor before becoming a national figure. In 1963 he delivered what is thought to be his most famous speech, in which he says the famous words: "I have a dream that my four little children wiIl will one day live in a nation \Where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." Martin Luther King led a battle and has done so many different protests and marches. We thank him for standing up for African Americans as without him we would not be where we are today.
Martin Luther King day is a day to commemorate and honor this hero in our society. So, thank you Martin Luther King Jr.
