Martin Luther King was a honourable leader during his time he was famous for his speech “ I had a dream’ In this speech he calls for an end to racism in the United States and preaches his vision of a society in which race was not an issue in how people were treated or in how they were allowed to live their lives. Because of this speech the Negros respected him. He said this speech in front of millions who came to listen and for that he is a very brave man.

How did Religion Influence Martin Luther King, Jr as he led the Civil Rights Movement

Martin Luther grew up in a home with very strict parents. As a result, Luther’s childhood was plagued with anxiety at home and at school. Because his father planned for him to become a lawyer, shortly after receiving a Master of Arts degree from Erfurt University he returned to the university to study law. Consequently, after a life threatening experience in a storm, Luther left the university and joined a monastery. In 1505, Luther became an Augustinian monk and subsequently became a priest in 1507. According to John Dillenberger, “Luther was extremely sensitive to the problem of how to become worthy to receive the grace of God rather than the damning consequences of His righteousness”.

Martin Luther King Jr dedicated his life fighting to end discrimination against African-American men, women, and children. Martin did not believe in violence at all and would use kindness and love as opposed to violence and hate, this would help set the tone of his iconic movement to end racism. Martin was able to prove that a world without violence can be successful. He would be able to establish equal voting rights between the black and white people, and establish that all nations must treat all people equal no matter their skin color.

Martin Luther King Jr. was a peaceful and courageous man who used a non-violent manner to stand up for all that he believed in. King Jr. sought for equal rights for African Americans during his life. He not only participated but led many of the acts to push equal rights such as the bus boycott, antisegregation campaigns, the March on Washington, and civil rights rallies throughout the United States. Due to his strenuous work for equal rights, King Jr. was one of the major reasons for the passing of the Civil Rights Bill in 1964 (Bennett). Martin Luther King Jr.’s hard-working, dedicated personality is one of the predominant reasons that there are civil rights in the United States; if it

The printing press was a vital part of the Reformation,Renaissance ,and Age of exploration,without this writing tool these historical events wouldn't have literacy or technological advances when they did in that time period, which allow people able to read and learn how to read also reduces prices on books.

1. In paragraph 4 Martin Luther King mentions several claims that form his argument. Those claims being “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere… Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial "outside agitator" idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere in this country.” (King) He supports this throughout explaining how as a nation, it should be united not divided. Amalgamated not segregated because from only there, can a nation evolve.

Early on in his famous letter, Martin Luther King Jr. writes: “I have the honor of serving as president of the Southern Christian Leadership conference” (King 2). In a similar fashion, Malcolm X states in the third paragraph of his speech: “Although I am still a Muslim, I’m not here to discuss my religion” (X 24). Both making their religions clear, but the way they approach religion in the two texts are starkly different from one another.

It is worth it to dream considering all the good things that happen as a result of it. Martin Luther King’s “I have a Dream” Speech, the Revolutionary War, and Martin Luther’s “95 thesis” all changed the world. Martin Luther King’s dream was that everyone should be treated the same way and his dream happened. Another dream was from the colonies in America who wanted freedom. They had a war with British which was called The Revolutionary War. This dreamed changed the world too. Martin Luther’s “95 thesis” also changed the world. It changed people’s view on god and their church. People might say, “Those are just a few famous dreams that changed the world. There are many other dreams that didn’t change the world.” Many dreams change the world

During his lifetime, Martin Luther king dared to not only dream about a better future but also fight for it. He was not afraid from having confrontations in order to promise a change. We can see his decisiveness when his arguments for stopping discrimination against black were not enough to change the situation. He decided to make a direct action in order to make society confront the issue.

According to the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., there is a distinct difference between “just” and “unjust laws”. King writes, “A just law is a man made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law” (Michaelvdg 2010). This concept dates back to a philosophy developed by the Romans. The Roman’s code was between these two concepts, “Ius Gentium” and “Ius Naturalis”. Ius Gentium means a law that is universally practiced, where Ius Naturalis means natural law (Michaelvdg 2010). One way to explain the difference between the two is by using slavery as an example. Slavery was

Martin Luther's contribution to the Church could easily be dismissed because he is well known as anti-Semitic. In truth, he was, as most people are, more complicated than this. Luther is a wonderful example of the Grace of God using imperfect people. Luther is history's best proponent of justification by grace, yet some of his views did not always reflect God's love. God has not changed, He still chooses the average person to advance His kingdom. And why shouldn't He, we are all He's got!

This chapter was the one that I enjoyed reading the most. This chapter was interesting to me because while reading the other chapters I kept relating Gerhardt’s ideas to what is happening now in the United States with police and African Americans. Reading this chapter and seeing that she talks a lot about how Martin Luther King Jr. perceived that it is the church who will win over these injustices in a nonviolent way was refreshing to see.
