Martin Luther King Jr.
Where would we be without this man? Without him, there is undoubtly a lot of change in today's society or at least, what soceity is now, wouldn't be until many years later, decades even. King layed down the first stone that would create a path that involves the first african-american president, kids of all races being educated equally in one school, and an entire month dedicated to rememboring those who faught for equal rights for african-americans. he faught for many things, and each battle was carried out peacefully. He had a dream. so right here, right now; is his dream ubiquatious (i used a vocab word in "everyday life"), is his legacy still here.
I like to think so. every now and then i take a step back and intently observe all thatg i can see. i think, what made this possible. i think of people who died in wars for us in order to be here without the worry of war, i think of marches and protests of mexicans, african-americans, all races who fought for what they believed to be right. which all beagn with King. If anyone wanted to start a movement of their own today, they can emulate (ANOTHER VOCAB WORD =D) what King did. Learn from him, & keep his legacy going.
Anytime any individual demonstrates they want something changed, whether it be via march, petition, rallies etc. they are silmultaneously caring in the legacy of King.
As long as equality remains present, and we demonstrate it by continuing to do what we do...
Martin Luther King, Jr will always be King.
