Martin Luther King's Legacy

To help my community, it would be a huge first step to figure out what is most needed in your local food pantry. Figuring out what a majority of people need will be very useful in drawing in people, whereas if you started a food drive on things that people were not in need of, nobody will move towards it. If, per say, you greatly supported a person who was in need of food, many others in the same situation will go to the food drive, knowing it’s

“Excellence is a self-imposed standard of conduct. In addition, excellence also,” …means replacing bumbling with efficiency, carelessness with skill, embarrassment with pride” (Johnston page 24). This is what we mean by the word excellence. Excellence is difficult to define because,”… we all certainly recognize it when we observe it in others. And we are refreshed and reassured when we witness it” (Johnston page 25). This word can also be defined as,” a certain style of life, a manner of living, a bigness of spirit, a point of view, a frame of reference, a set of priorities, a hierarchy of values, an admirable self-imposed standard” (Johnston page 25). Johnston’s statement on Martin Luther King Jr. was very inspiring. It just goes to show us that we only have to believe in ourselves and set high standards for excellence. Out of the three truths I have learned in my readings, the first

Epic heroes are commemorated as being someone who commits improbable feats. They aren’t superior, but they oblige to deeds they feel are right. Non-oblivious to the horrid racism going on around him growing up, Martin Luther King Jr. alleviated and dedicated most of his life to what he could change as an adult: segregation. Martin Luther King Jr. embodies the characteristics of an epic hero because he was competent of great deeds, he signified humility, and possessed supernatural help.

Not all children are born into the perfect situation, some children are born into a drug oriented and gang related family. “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.” This a powerful quote from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. how we can benefit a student’s life. The Giving Children a Mulligan in Life interest group would be a locally funded group in Atlanta which would teach life lessons through the game of golf in a fun and interactive way. “Giving Children a Mulligan in Life” would help with the record high levels of dropouts in this city. Certainly with Atlanta having one of the highest dropout rates in not just Georgia, but in United States at 59.1% with an 8% rise in the last two years reported by the Georgia’s Department of Education (2014) is more than enough of a reason for this group to exist.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I will discuss how his leadership has impacted both America as a whole and the United States Army, as well as how Dr. King has influenced my own life as a Soldier, Military Intelligence professional, and leader.

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”.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was an astonishing activist that inspired a numerous amount of people with his speech. Dr. King was great because he displayed some traits. Some of the traits that he possessed were leadership, determination, and bravery. He was a man that preached about justice and wanted peace.

People do not acknowledge the struggles that African Americans had to endure for them to be treated equally, the way a true American is supposed to be treated. One of the ways they were not treated equally was by not being able to participate in sports with whites. From the beginning of our nation, colored people were highly disrespected and treated as if they were some type of animals, which have no say in what happens to them. They were not given any opportunities and were treated harshly because their skin color was different. Whites were able to practically do anything they wanted, unlike blacks, who were racially discriminated or beaten for no apparent reason. African Americans were among the worst treated races in the US; however,

During the course of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, there were several black and white supporters who had brave roles.

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.

The 2016 Martin Luther King ceremony was a beautiful and well organized program. I enjoyed every aspect of this program, from the students singing to the Young Achievers speaking. Hampton University has many talented diverse individuals within the institution and those talents were displayed today through song and dance. It was shown today that Martin Luther King still has a heavy impact on individuals, and various communities forty seven years later. It’s beyond amazing that Dr. Martin Luther King legacy is still alive and thriving. The unfortunate part about his legacy still being alive, is that many of the younger youth are not able to get the same abundance of knowledge that college students and high school students were able to receive.

Have you ever felt out of place? Well if you have it’s okay because people around the world get the full affect everyday. If I were Dr.Martin Luther King I would try to strengthen the relationship by having more empathy, being generous, and doing activities together.

The late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. will everlastingly be regarded as one of our countries iconic legends. He was one of America’s best Civil Rights leaders of the 1960’s. He was known as the forerunner or spokesman for many moral reform movements that fought to increase equality and justice for African Americans and minorities. His strong belief in non-violence resistance and his infamous “I Have a Dream” speech are heavily associated to King when people engage in discussion about the Civil Rights Movement. Often, such conversations never seem to break the surface level and no one ever seem explore and question these themes to further depth.
