Trump Spending Mlk Jr Day Golfing Summary

Martin Luther King Jr. has landed himself in jail. He blocked off a roadway as a sign of protest, and ended up getting arrested for doing what was right. As Dr. King planned this he understood that he was most likely going to jail, but he needed people to see the bigger problem. Dr. King states, “you deplore the demonstrations taking place in Birmingham. But your statement, I am sorry to say, fails to express a similar concern for the conditions that brought about the demonstrations.” What he means by this is that the people of Birmingham are upset that he was blocking a roadway and that he deserves to go to jail for that. But does not have the same anger towards the reason why they blocked the roadway in the first place. They don’t have the same anger for the injustice, discrimination, and racism that was happening during that time. So that is why Martin Luther King Jr. felt that it was necessary to take a stand and make a protest against all the hatred that was happening in Birmingham. Although Dr. King knew he was going to jail for doing this protest he felt that the message of it we be worth the risk. So he broke an unjust law

The clergymen of Alabama whom sent King the letter was criticizing his actions, hence King wanted to explain the whole premise of what his actions. In fact, he wrote specifically to the man saying that “I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” (26). In essence, this is referring to his reason of action in Birmingham.

was responding to also made it a point that he couldn’t support something that was breaking laws. To which, he responded with about how it was morally wrong for the people in his organization to just sit by and do nothing while their friends of color could not participate in activities due to the race they were born with. A law that is morally wrong to someone that would not impact someone’s life (unless positively) is a law that can be bypassed considering it is something as simple as judging someone for something that they can’t even control, such as skin tone. Martin Luther King, Jr. wasn’t even advocating that it was okay to break laws, he simply stated that people have a moral and lawful duty to upkeep laws. Especially for just and unjust laws to which you can differentiate if you read the letter yourself.

Back in Martin Luther King Jr.’s day, racism, segregation, and violence toward blacks was prevalent within America. In order to take a stand, he engaged in peaceful protests and presented a speech that would move not only America, but the entire world. These actions eventually led up to putting an end to segregation in schools, workplaces, as well as public areas. This also lead ultimately to the road being paved for the United States of America becoming a country that accepts people no matter their race, religion, or gender, giving equal rights to everyone.

One of the best inaugural addresses was delivered by John F. Kennedy the day he was sworn into office as president of United States on January 20, 1961. From that speech Kennedy’s famous line was born, when Kennedy (1961) said: “Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.” (Kennedy, 464). John F. Kennedy wasn’t just an active advocate for civil rights, but he strongly believed in the citizens of America by seeing that the citizens had more to offer by unifying together for the country. In the speech he talks about important topics America was facing. Mentioning, that the country had to be united together to become a strong force, about poverty, man’s(human) rights , foreign countries joining America and of course, about peace. Religion was also used as an illusion of security, and showing that he was a capable leader able to lead America. John F. Kennedy wanted to inspire the citizens of America to hope for the future, but not just the people of America but also the citizens around the globe.

If Martin Luther King Jr. was still alive today, he would not agree with a lot of social justice issues of our present times. Martin Luther King would be proud of how far we have come from his time and day. Mr. King was a man of peaceful dealings and longed for interracial equality. He had great moral standards and was an incredible hero of the nineteenth century. Recently in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, there have been many controversial things said and done that Mr. King would have frowned upon; for example, the speech given by the mayor of New Orleans, Ray Nagin, at a celebration of Martin Luther King day in New Orleans on January 16, 2006. The mayor said many controversial remarks which seemed to be extremely racist in

Lastly, Lindhout uses allusions so that the reader has a reference as to where they are being held and what is going on around them. “His jihad was all about driving the Ethiopian troops out of Somalia” (Lindhout 137). This quote gives a little background information about the tension in Somalia. “From here on out, the man would arrive at least once a week bringing money and supplies for our captors. Once or twice, we saw him carrying a big pot of home-cooked food and leaving it for the boys. We nicknamed him Donald Trump” (Lindhout 168).

Both of these anecdotes give information about the area and conflict in which Lindhout is being held and

Despite this Donald Trump was effected in the second debate and made critical points on Clinton’s platform. “All Trump did tonight was live to lose another day. He stanched enough bleeding to keep the opportunists, but he didn’t do anything meaningful to change the fundamental dynamics of the race. He did nothing to show Americans that he deserves to sit in the Oval Office.” (French, 2016).

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.” (Martin Luther King Jr.) The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial is a memorial built of solid granite honoring the Civil Rights leader. He led the movement from the 1950s until his assassination in 1968. He was known for his impactful, peaceful, and nonviolent protests. He was a fundamental part in the ending of segregation between blacks and whites in America during the 1950s and 60s. The construction of the memorial began in 2009 and ended in 2011. The memorial site is on the National Mall right next to the Lincoln Memorial where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his inspiring “I Have A Dream” speech. It was opened to the public on

Martin Luther King believed that people needed to be unified and take action such as by protesting and boycotting in order to enact change. He emphasized how important it was to partake in nonviolent protests such as simply boycotting white goods. He stated, “Go out and tell your neighbors not to buy Coca-Cola in Memphis. Go by and tell them not to buy Sealtest milk” (King). This statement proved that King was serious about trying to encourage people to help, but he provided examples as to how they could do so in the small ways.

On the night of April 3, King gave a speech at the Mason Temple Church in Memphis. Just after 6 p.m. the following day, King was standing on the second-floor balcony of the Lorraine Motel, where he and his associates were staying, when a sniper’s bullet struck him in the neck. He was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead about an hour later, at the age of 39

This is why, I believe that we celebrate his birthday as a national holiday and Malcolm X’s birthday goes unrecognized. Martin Luther King was fighting for equal rights for black people and he did it with out slaying or putting down the white people. We want to celebrate what this nation has over come. What we have overcome, is the fact that in our society today we do not discriminate based on the color of someone’s skin. By choosing to celebrate King’s birthday over Malcolm X’s birthday was a better choice for all Americans. King was not considered a racist. Equal rights for everyone no matter what race you were.
