Martin Luther King

Martin Luther King

This week was the 50th anniversary for when Martin Luther King gave his speech " I Have A Dream!." The speech was given on the reasons of civil rights towards the black people, as many whites were so against the blacks. Black people and white people couldn't go to the same school or anything they had to be segregated. 

Martin was born on the 15 of January 1929. Growing up  his father Martin Luther King Sr. was a Minster. His mother was Alberta Williams King. Martin then had four kids and went on to be a Lawyer and an Activist to change America to get equality.

Through the coming years of Martin, America was Unbelievably Racist. On the bus if the white couldn't sit on a seat or had no seat the would tell the black people to get up and move, the blacks then had to get up and move to another seat or stand. Blacks and Whites had to use different toilets. Schools were segregated so there were Blacks and Whites school. Black people were in poverty while the whites were in Prosperity.

Martin fought and fought and finally got equality between the both Black and Whites. Blacks are still in poverty but there was a big change in the profits of black people. Blacks and whites can now got to school together toilets can be used by anyone, black people can also sit anywhere on the bus.

But in the end after all the trouble Martin went through, the bombing off his house and getting stabbed while working through his paper work for his job he died. He got assassinated by James early ray By a 30 calibre rifle and was pronounced dead at 7:05 April 5th 1968.
