The End!!!! Ninety percent of whites and eighty percent of blacks say that racial discrimination has improved over their lifetime. His parents did not know.

Instead of what some people did, Martin used his mouth, not his fists to fight the injustices that were in our world. Oh my gosh, it's a parade!!!! Martin was on a bus with his school class to travel 90 miles to Atlanta, Georgia. Martin was comfortably seated and then whites flooded the bus. As the law stated, the blacks had to give up seats to the whites. His teacher told them that they would have to stand. Martin stood on the train for 90 miles and at pit stops to get to Atlanta, Georgia.

Transcript: It became the dawning of...or more like the new beging of black people thinking for them selves and believing that they deserve better which they truly did. Over a hundred white people joined in Martins fight and knew he would win and become the man that made history. Martin Luther King, Sr. fought against racial prejudice, not just because his race suffered, but because he considered racism and segregation to be an affront to God's will. He strongly discouraged any sense of class superiority in his children which left a lasting impression on Martin Jr. Growing up in Atlanta, Georgia, Martin Luther King, Jr. entered public school at age five. In May, 1936, he was baptized, but the event made little impression on him. In May, 1941, Martin was 12 years old when is grandmother, Jennie, died of a heart attack. The event was traumatic for Martin, more so because he was out watching a parade against his parents’ wishes when she died. Distraught at the news, young Martin attempted suicide by leaping from a second story window at the family home. In 1948, Martin Luther King, Jr. took his sociology degree from Morehouse College and attended the liberal Crozer Theological Seminary in Chester, Pennsylvania. There he thrived in all his studies becoming valedictorian of his class in 1951 and elected student body president. He also earned a fellowship for graduate study. But Martin also rebelled against his father’s more conservative influence by drinking beer and playing pool while at college. He became involved with a white woman and went through a difficult time before he could break off the affair. During his last year in seminary, Martin Luther King, Jr. came under the influence of theologian Reinhold Niebbuhr, a classmate of his father's at Morehouse College. Niebbuhr became a mentor to Martin, challenging his liberal views of theology. Niebuhr was probably the single most important influence in Martin's intellectual and spiritual development. After being accepted at several colleges for his doctoral study including Yale and Edinburgh in Scotland, King enrolled in Boston University. During the work on this doctorate, Martin Luther King, Jr. met Coretta Scott and aspiring singer and musician at the New England Conservatory school in Boston. They were married in June, 1953 and had four children, Yolanda, Martin Luther King, III, Dexter Scott, and Bernice. In 1954, while still working on his dissertation, King became pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church of Montgomery, Alabama. He completed his Ph.D. and was award his degree in 1955. King was only 25 years old. Theres alot more but heres the spoiler. A young woman Named Rosa Parks wouldnt give up her seat in the bus. She was taken to court and MArtin fought for her justice. Further down the line he got married and made his famous speech like the one i showed to all of you earlier. He was killed when he was doing a speech but do you think he wante that to stop his wish on black people being free. The answer is NO! In the end most of the people helped him hold his head up high even after his death. People considered him an american hero breaking blacks from the grasp for being considered not good enough to fit in with the rest of us. He freed people from them selves and from others. Remember he was a positive romodel and you can be one too. Thank you for your attention! This is about one man that felt that black people didnt have equal rights. He believed that every living thing in the world had the right to do anything and wanted to share it with the world. It was the mircle day to some but the starting of hate to most. Tip here are some quotes from Martin Luther King. I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law. the tip Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true. In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends Now Martins speach Martin Luther King And one more thing... his bio Changes He made a speech proving to the world that one day his wishes and dreams will become a reality. He made a promise to the people that followed and believed in him. Ha the quotes are actually below so yeah:) https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=hp&biw=1600&bih=795&q=martin+luther+king+jr&gbv=2&oq=martin&aq=0&aqi=g10&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=956l1992l0l3550l6l6l0l0l0l0l205l897l2.3.1l6l0 Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence.

Transcript: After leading the"March on Washington" on August 28, 1963, King gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. This march consisted of over a quarter of a million people. This speech inspired a nation to follow Dr. King in his fight against civil injustices. Dr. King was awarded the noble piece prize in 1964 for the nonviolent approach he had towards the civil rights movement. In 1968, Mrs. King opened Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change as a memorial to Dr. King's beliefs that all men should be created equal. Every year we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King day, on January 21st, to promote equal rights for all citizens Unfortunately, after thirteen years of nonviolent demonstrations Dr. King was assassinated for his beliefs. He was shot by a sniper while on the balcony at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, TN. By: Breanna Lauinger In 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested for not giving up her seat to a white passenger. Outraged, the NAACP choose Dr. King as the spokesperson/leader of the boycott. King along with other supports helped the boycott last 301 days. This ultimately lead the Supreme Court to rule that segregation in transportation was unconstitutional. Today, Martin Luther King Jr. remains one of the most well known leaders of all time.
