Throughout the duration of our country, leaders in America have worked for progress, peace, unity and have fought against injustice, especially regarding race.

They both strived for equality and set goals for an undivided country that would allow each citizen to share in the freedom in which America was built on. As our nation progressed and grew, some of the ambitions of Lincoln and Douglass were fulfilled but others are still being worked towards today.
With the exception of the Steelers who had to deal with the Patriots for a career playoff fourth time, not a one of us thought these high powered offenses would be stopped.

The number one ranked Steelers defense couldn’t even handled the Patriots that year. But as it stands, great defenses seem to have a way of cutting great offenses down to size.
The earth is 4.6 billion years old, if you scale that to forty-six years we have been here for only 4 hours. Our industrial revolution began 1 minute ago.

We are quickly using up our natural resources and destroying our planet.
As we celebrate Martin Luther King Day and Black History Month, Blacks have made huge strides although coming from a past of inequality. I wasn’t particularly interested in seeing Selma because I knew what it represented. I feared to cry and get emotional over the hardships of post-slavery and the battles of the Civil Rights Movement. I knew it was going to be gruesome to watch because of its vivid depiction of how our nation used to be and a touch of reality of how it continues to become.
Leaders of the Civil Rights Movement inspired regular people to make a change. John Lewis heard Martin Luther King Jr. preaching on the radio at a young age, making John wanting to integrate Troy State. Martin Luther King Jr. also inspired people to march from Selma to Montgomery to demand voting with no barriers. Some might say that regular people weren’t inspired by Martin Luther King Jr. and made the marches happen on their own but Martin Luther King Jr. had organized the marches so they won’t be too chaotic. Because of the hero’s inspiration regular people wouldn’t have acted in the Civil Rights Movement. However, because of ordinary people, the heroes were able to move forward and help fight with

The civil rights movement can be called one of the most important movements in the history of the country. Without it who knows where America would be as a country in today’s time. Fortunately it was not a problem America had to solve all by its self. With the help of two of the most influential people in history, America became the country of the free where everyone is equal, no matter what religion, gender or ethnicity. Those two men were Martin Luther King Jr. and Elijah Muhammad. These men have accomplished so much but some can argue that one did things a better way than the other.
