Martin Luther King's Equality

Many aspects of social justice can be found in the Bible. Jesus partakes in many actions that would fall under social justice. He fed the hungry, stood up for women’s rights and welcomed the outcasts who were hated. Through history, there are very few people that stood up for equality and against oppression. One such person would be Martin Luther King, Jr. who based a lot of his work on the bible and the religious figures that are described in it.

The central claim of Dr. Kings argument is that, he felt as if Blacks were still classified as slaves. The emancipation proclamation was passed one hundred years prior, promised freedom and equal opportunity to all Americans that meant Blacks as well. That was supposed to be the end of slavery, yet Blacks were still forced to live under poor living conditions. Although they weren't actual slaves anymore, still Blacks were subjected to unethical treatment. Some of which were, being limited to resources such as education, good jobs, and good housing. They were segregated for those very reasons so that they could not persevere, in a country with next to no rights as an American citizen; due to the color of their skin and background. Dr. King

The person I choose as an advocate against inequality is Martin Luther King Jr. He made history in the United States, and has also left a significant impact upon people. Today I will describe his lifestyle, I will discuss what led him to become an advocate, the changes he invoke, the influence he had on others and much more information regarding Martin Luther King Jr.

Dr. King was a man who was born in Atlanta, Georgia. When he was young he always wasn’t able to get shielded from racism by his mother and grandmother.

He grew up to be a Baptist minister and Civil Rights activist. He was assassinated and the shooters name was James Earl Ray.

This cartoon represent the 1950s when equality was being questioned. During this decade, the separate but equal law was established in order to acknowledge that America ensures equal opportunities to all races, yet they would be racially segregated. Due to the restrictions placed, many people like Malcolm X, MLK, and Rosa Parks chose to fight against this. Within a few years, the Civil Rights Movement flourished. Many people believed that there should be true equality in regards to all skin colors. The African American man in this cartoon represents the civil rights movement that is refusing to conform to the limited opportunities they were granted. Society sees black people as inferior, lost cause, lazy, a threat, and whole list of other

Martin Luther King Jr. was a man who fought for equality and rights for all people, in his time; he mainly was fighting for the abolishment of segregation. Segregation in a way is similar to bullying because it separates and allowed being hurtful and offensive to people because they were different, in Doctor King’s time stopping segregation the difference that people would use to separate or “bully” others was the skin color. The change that I will make in myself for the better is to stand up for people who are bullied.

Fear and prejudice are two significant factors that people let subdue their emotions and beliefs. Throughout history and all the way to current day, the people and groups who never surrendered to fear and prejudice were the ones who prevailed. With that, one should never surrender to fear or prejudice, regardless of the cost.

When we think of the Civil Rights Movement, we often think of the most prominent leaders like Martin Luther King Jr, Rosa Parks, and Malcolm X who’ve surely paved the way for the beginning of the movement. However many times we overlook the ones who aren’t talked about in the classrooms during Black History Month, or when we’re discussing the Civil Rights Movement. In response, I dedicate my paper on an African-American Organization to those who promoted the freedom and rights of Black Americans and minorities just as much as Martin Luther King Jr or any other leader or organization during the movement. The greatly controversial Black Panther Party (BPP)

Over 240 years ago, our forefathers envisioned a country where democracy would prevail over any person or power that threatened it. A country where “if a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so” (Thomas Jefferson). From the colonists rebelling against tyrannical Britain to the Dakota Indians protesting oil pipelines on their land, there have been hundreds of riots, arrests, and trials that sought to challenge unfair laws in American society. Political dissent can oftentimes be ugly and include violence, but dissent is patriotic. The Bill of Rights gives the people freedom of speech, the rights to assemble, and the guarantee of life, liberty, and property. These freedoms and values are essential to our

When I’m volunteering to serve food I don’t think of the fact that this person may be homeless or jobless, but simply that they need food and I am there to provide it. At work, we are given report on what the patient needs for his or her care, other than that I try to make their experience as positive as I can. Nothing is stated about their race, religion, or other superficial characteristics unless it is necessary to provide better care. My ability to perform my job and volunteer endeavors well is not subjective to ones appearance. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr believed that all humans are created equal and I try to embody that in my every day life. Society has come a long way in regards to social justice, but still has a long way to go.

Martin Luther King is an extraordinary man who has accomplished great thing in his fight against injustice and segregation. like Selma and other cities it was clouded in a storm of racism but Martin Luther King came and reduced it to ash. “I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.” (Martin Luther King) and I think of that wondering if I can live up to those words. Back in the 20’s through 60’s racism was at it’s strongest and it got worse. Martin Luther King had a role model that shaped Dr.King into the man he is and that was his father. Dr. King has achieved many accomplishments and fought many political fights to get Civil Rights.

Martin Luther King Jr. had faith in the belief that acting with non-violence and humbleness would gain more attention than violence. Conceived on January 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia, King got to be twentieth century America's most convincing and viable social equality pioneer. He entered the social liberties development, which moved in the direction of political and social fairness for individuals of all races, in 1955. At that point, he was at that point a Baptist clergyman, a spouse, and a father.

Whenever I see the word “dream”, the first thing that come to my mind is MLK Jr.’s great speech about his dream of equality of races. I am not a great person like him so I have relatively small dream. My small dream is to develop a device that will help the poor countries in the world to produce electricity using renewable energy. In other words, I will develop a machine which will convert wind and solar energy to electricity in a cheap and efficient way.
