Without him, they probably would be under the same law as they were back then. He, as a black citizen, was trying to help the blacks and whites. He wanted the violence to stop. In the 1950s, Martin was working hard to make his dream come true. He was trying to bring people together and wanted the white people to stop killing African Americans for just talking to them. They could go to jail for just being too close to an white person back in the 1800s and 1900s. During 1959, there was a black that was trying to change the world from the white people having all the freedom. He wanted it to be all the same, no matter what color someone is. He had a dream for everyone to all be equal and stop fighting one another and come together and make peace. By 1963, his speech was famous.

King, Jr. was a strong believer in the fact that every race should be treated equally to one another. As Edward Berry stated in his own Rhetorical Analysis, “Doing Time: King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail””, King dreamed of a time where whites and blacks could be equal (111). Some of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s largest achievements through this movement where the March on Washington, the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and obviously the Birmingham Campaign. He gave his all into this movement and on April 4, 1969, at the young age of 39, was assassinated because of his belief in racial equality and gave his life for the Civil Rights Campaign. Like Martin Luther King said in his piece, “Letter from Birmingham Jail”, “I am compelled to carry the gospel of freedom far beyond my own hometown (1). And that he did. Which is one of the biggest reasons that he is so widely remembered in the United States of America and
Martin Luther King Jr. started a revolution in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Martin Luther King Jr. believed in change. He wanted to put an end to the Jim Crow laws which gave Negroes economic, educational, and social disadvantages. These laws made white people more superior than the blacks. Martin Luther King Jr.’s voice was heard when he chose to boycott these laws after a woman by the name of Rosa Parks was arrested because she
Martin Luther king Jr, and his followers stood for non-violent protests, despite being victims of threats. Although King was highly recognized, and praised amongst the black community not all African American’s agreed with his ideology of obtaining their civil rights through peaceful non-violence protest. Therefore other movements were created such as the Black Power Movement which was a group that emphasized that blacks should claim their civil rights through violence. Overall Martin Luther King Jr had an major impact on the civil rights movement, and will always be remembered for his famous impactful “I have a dream speech” which was his vision of black & white people coinciding with one another, and ultimately living in peace together where blacks do not have to worry about being judged by their skin color, but instead their actions. “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
Martin Luther King Jr. changed the Civil Rights movement with the sound of his voice. Martin Luther King was the most powerful activist for equal rights because of his peaceful marches, and speeches. The March on Washington and the I Have a Dream speech were the most important events he participated in. The “I Have a Dream” speech took place in August, 1963, in Washington D.C. The speech was monumental for the Civil Rights Movement, as it was broadcasted nationwide. The speech consisted of how African Americans have been discriminated against as time progress since the Gettysburg Address one hundred years before. Dr. King then went on to explain some of the problems African Americans still face today. As the speech went on he gradually raised
When you hear the name Martin Luther King Jr., the first thing that comes to mind is probably racism against African Americans. He is famous for his wisdom and persuasive speeches against segregation of African Americans. This statement holds strongly true because today diverse races are integrated all over the united states. For what ever reason, Martin has been an inspiration to many African Americans. He accomplished his success mostly through speeches, but also through his written essays. Although, his speeches were intense and filled with much persuasion, Martin had a way with words when he wrote too. This is displayed in professional fashion in the "Letter From Birmingham Jail." Martin displayed a circus of statements in response to
He showed not just America, but the world, that these people are not savages or harmful. They didn’t want to seem like the bad guy, ultimately putting more people on their side. Not only was he active, but he never gave up. MLK was arrested 30 times, but never gave up the fight. While all of this was going on, there was another leader around, Malcolm X. He was very similar to MLK, except for that fact that he believed in violence protests. To show that MLK was a better leader, in his ‘I Have a Dream’ speech, Dr. King states, “I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.” In this, he is pushing the idea of racial equality, that he wants the color of one’s skin to have no influence on their friends, jobs, etc. and beale to co-exist peacefully. However, in Malcolm X’s speech, he says, “This is part of what's wrong with you — you do too much singing. Today it's time to stop singing and start swinging. You can't sing up on freedom, but you can swing up on some freedom.” In this quote from his ‘The Ballot or the Bullet’ speech, he wants these people to stop being peaceful, also being extremely impactful on society, and start to hurt or kill those who stand in your way. This opposes Dr. King’s views directly. Another part in MLK’s speech is, “. . .
In addition, from equality, he did much more. The most difficult part of his goal was doing it peacefully. He and his followers took a lot of punishment; not only mental and emotional torture, but also physical assaults as well. For example, “On December 1, 1955, A lady names Rose Parks refused to give up on her seat on the bus to a white man”(Wikipedia). Then Parks got arrested for what she did. King called for a boycott of the buses. This boycott lasted longer than a year and the bus companies were order to end segregations on their buses. King told the people to fight over their rights peacefully without any harm to others. After Rose parks not giving on her seat on the bus, rules have changed for the black people. MLK Jr. became the president of his boycott. White people started bothering King and wanted to force him to give up his fight for equal rights for the black people. At the same time king wasn’t afraid. He continued working in the peace for the African American. During 1963 King Jr. organized, a protest in Washington D.C. hundreds of thousand of American in different race took part. At the Lincoln memorial King held his most famous speech:”I Have Dream!” According to this king says, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live a nation where they will not be judge by the color of their skin but the content of their character.”After his speech in November 1963, the next American government passed a law that gave black people same rights like the white people. The new law gave the black people the same opportunities to be educated, work, go to the same school, etc; along they can do what white people can do. It also gave them the right to vote, the right to speak, the rights to share their opinion and the right to be mix with others. MLk didn’t give up on his goal until the black and white people be the
One reason i think martin luther king had an impact on the world is because of his speech. He is the reason why blacks and whites do things together now days. Hes why we don't treat black people like slaves. He had the dream of being accepted for who he is. He was tired of people being mean to him.

It wasn't there fault they were the color they are.
