Due to his huge contributions to the Civil Rights Movement, Martin Luther King Jr. is important to the end of segregation in the United States. He used nonviolence as a way to fight for equality for African Americans. In a book he wrote called Strength to Love he said “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.

The original quote, titled as “I was born to make mistakes not to fake perfection,” from Drake, demonstrates that everyone makes mistakes. The singer goes on to explain we weren’t born to be perfect. While some might view these lyrics as advice to stop trying to be perfect. The quote suggest that the writer is held to standard of perfection when in reality he isn’t perfect.

Another thing that was fascinating about the original quote was he acknowledged that people weren’t born to fake perfection. I choose to remix and change the original version to display more irony.

Martin Luther king's guidance places itself in a very prevalent way in today's society. Currently, war, recession, and terrorism have wormed its way into that very foundation, cracking it, and rotting away the very civil rights that we as a nation hold dear. ALthough, teachings of King came a lifetime ago, they are just as prevalent to society as continue to repair, and deal with the losses and questions regarding the future the USA. It's only through the words of King such as, “violence begets violence”, isolationism, and racial profiling can we as a nation heal our wounds, answer our questions, and honor our dead.

MLK says, “But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds.

We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline.” This speech shows its positive impact by not engaging.

Martin Luther King Jr. was an extraordinary communicator and spiritual leader during the Civil Rights Movement. For example, he once stated: “Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are who you ought to be.

After all of his speeches, protests and marches we were able to learn numerous things from him. Of course, there are a lot of quotes made from the words he said, because they are so encouraging and motivational. Nowadays you can find those quotes everywhere and that is why I think he completed one of his goals which was to be remembered for that and be so influential to people even if it has been a long time since he passed away.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a hero to all, a believer in freedom of all ethnicities. King is a well known black man that has help started, yet, not finished a protest: all men are created equal. Perhaps you know King as the man that ended the black discrimination, but it is still the most unwavered continuity in world history. In 2015, the protests in Baltimore, police officer’s outrage and unnecessary aggression towards the black community, the intended shooting of transgender blacks, the inequality of privilege between whites and black americans, the persistent and permanent stereotype of the black populace. Dr. Martin Luther King has affected the world in terms of equality, but it is our job to finish it.

Just like how everyone has their own beliefs and morals that mean a lot to them, this quote shows how Delia believes that the  Devil, God, or fate will end up punishing Sykes for all the wrong he's done. This belief helps her survive and gives her emotional strength to carry on in the unhappy union.

Though why should she do that, especially when her husband has never offered any emotional support in fifteen years of marriage. In my perspective, I a hundred percent agree with Delia and how she treats Sykes. Most people have heard the quote “treat people how you would like to be treated,” and

I believe this quote highlights how the constitution is not failing minority people but working as it was designed many years ago. America is a very complex country and was created with the false reality that by living here you entitled to liberty. But unfortunately, this country isn't as open as it claims to be.
