Martin Luther King, Jr. Essay

Many people have been ?ghting for their rights throughout history.
Martin Luther King, Jr. did the same in the 1950s and 1960s Martin Luther
King, Jr. started marches and made speeches to inspire people to change
the world and succeed just like him. He led marches starting a big civil
rights movement. Many other African Americans followed his footsteps and
stood up for their rights like Rosa Parks, Ruby Bridges,and so on. MLK, Jr.
said to always use peace to sort out violence and to sort out problems.

Martin Luther King (MLK, Jr) is my idol. He inspires me to stand up to
problems by using peace and kindness and also to love my enemies. In my
school, we did not have a playground. I made a speech in front of the
Board of Education and a year later, they built a new, safe playground.
MLK, Jr. made a speech when he didn?t like people?s rights being taken

away. I made a speech when I wanted change at my school.

My aspirations are for the world to be at peace, no global warming,
no war, and no diseases. Just like MLK Jr.?s Have a Dream? speech, I
have a dream that I will create a cure for Alzheimer's disease. I have an

invention but I am still experimenting and it is a secret. My grandpa forgets

a lot of things and I want to help him remember his life, important memories

and special events.

In summary, Martin Luther King, Jr. inspired many people into
changing the world in a peaceful way and standing up for their rights.

Because of his success, he inspires me today.
