To Trust Martin Luther King Jr

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 Letter from Birmingham Jail” was written by Jr. Martin Luther King to Fellow Clergymen because he joined the nonviolent campaign in Birmingham, Alabama, to fight for justice. His letter answered to the “A Call for Unity” clergymen, who said that the fight for social injustices should only be in the courts. However, the court does not only never solve the racial segregation, but also ignore the problem for decades. King Jr. believes in some principles that will be discussed in this paper

The world was a different place—African Americans were discriminated against to an extent where they did not have any civil rights like the millions of other Americans. Bathrooms were segregated, blacks could only sit on the back of the bus, jobs were unattainable at many stores and restaurants because of the color of their skin, and ultimately the black community really had no place within the community as a whole. Without leadership the black community was lost. They necessity for a leader to stand up and not be afraid of the consequences was grave. Police brutally beat blacks, killed them, put them in jail, and the list goes on. The sense of unsafety took over the black community, and for a long time all they had were each other. Standing up for themselves many times would cost them their lives. On January 15th, 1929, a man was born who would change the viewpoints of millions and leave his name forever remembered. Martin Luther King Jr took a stand in history by fighting for and earning the rights of the African American people and trying to work towards a world where

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.

“Only through an inner spiritual transformation do we gain the strength to fight vigorously the evils of the world in a humble and loving spirit” (King 18). America’s history of hate towards individuals of color has transcended for centuries when finally, an African American minster felt it was enough and had to do something about this social injustice. In the book Strength to Love, by Martin Luther King Jr., it presents a collection of sermons where he hopes to preach the social gospel by emphasizing religious values such as forgiveness to better the nation and the well-being of others. With the combination of Christian teachings and social consciousness, King promotes courage and love as the ultimate forces in combating the evils of the world

They are all the same because they all talk about how they all want eqaulity and they all talk about how what they are going through and they are going to do to try and fix there problem. They all talk about what there fears. They talk about people need to except them for. Everyone is different no one is the same. They wanted everyone to be treated. They want everyone to be even and everyone to be friends and everyone to be fair to each other but they have to fight so everyone can be and have there own rights.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was one of many men in history that have impacted the lives of many around the world. He helped fought to bring awareness to help abolish segregation within the United States and within the hearts and minds of many.

People have the ability to shape their lives by what they have been through. People who have suffered through unrighteousness and injustice are able to become stronger people this is evident with Martin Luther King. King endured a lot during his life such as growing up with no rights and being told that what he believed was wrong.

The ultimate measure of a man is when they're challenged with a obstacle ahead of them and confront it. Any human being has to become prolific to any situation no matter how difficult it may be. For example the way my aunt decided to open a business for the first time. All odds were against her everybody wanted her to fail yet she kept going, and now she has her business booming. That is what Martin Luther King Jr. wanted people to do; when life decides to knock you down get up and push

2 values that Martin Luther king Jr felt that worth giving his life for were freedom and faith. Martin Luther king, Jr was arrested and sent to jail in Birmingham because he protested treatment of blacks against political demonstrations. He then published a letter in a newspaper declaring demonstrations for justice with his faith. He wrote that everyone has a right to break unjust laws and encouraged people to confront issues and put into practice rather than watching it from far away. He explained every details the reason of what he is doing and why he does this movement. He also focused on “nonviolent direct action” not “direct action”. He did not want people to fight each other violently based on Matthew 5:38-39 “you have heard that it

America in the 1960s was not the finest time for African Americans, especially in the South. There was racism, injustice and inequality. However, the ‘devotees’ of the civil rights movement were dedicated and passionate about making a difference. Martin Luther King Jr. was one of those pioneers that remained true in what he believed in no matter what the circumstance.

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.

Together with hope, the conviction in human ability, faith in independent individualism, firm optimism, moral idealism and return to nature are some of the basic requirements effected by Mitchell’s characters to rebuild. As Martin Luther King, Jr says “Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.” Mitchell’s character has strong faith in humanity. It helps them to discover their purpose in life Moreover, faith, at its core, is deep-rooted in the anticipation of good things to come for them. It goes beyond hope. While much of hope lives in the mind, faith is steeped in the heart and the spirit.

Martin Luther King showed the world that through strong initiative and leadership, anyone can make a difference in the world. His protests and motivation inspired marches for women’s rights even in present day. We need valuable representations of initiative such as this in order to communicate how crucial this virtue is. There were three short stories that stood out to me as a representation of initiative. The Possibility of Evil, Rebellion of the Magic Rabbits and Appointment With Love, deserve to be stored in the vault because of their effective portrayals.

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.
