Martin Luther

king

BACKGRAWND
Martin Luther King Jr. was a Baptist minister and social activist, who led
the Civil Rights Movement in the United States from the mid-1950s until
his death by assassination in 1968.

FREEDOM AND RASESSOM

Freedom: every human deserve to be free and to control their freedom because we all were born
equally the same so all of us should have the same chooses and equally.
To be able to live with every one ells we have a government and rules that should give aud our
rights and equally , eventually it didnt give the freedom to every one but it actually toke out
every thing it even made rules to put them under slavery and that was for the Africans .
The government was a big present to a lot of people thats how jimmy Santiago bacd
Comparing it to wen he said I dont want to live any more or get transferred to another prison
because this one is too tough.

RACISM
Its sad how racism is a very common thing that happened to every one of us at least ones , but
thats nothing comparing to what Africans had to go thru in the past just because of their color ,
they couldn't do anything that we normally do like going to school or even read or oune a house
and just the very luck ones get to be a mangers in the job that their doing .
If you think that racism is over, I'm goanna tell you its not people still tread others differently just
because of their rise for ex they weld always question how did this black person become like that
because they think that their better and their must be something wrong , racism now is not only
towards the Africans it also towards Mexicans Indian and mostly Arabs.

WHAT DID MLK DO TO STOP THE RACESM AND

GIVE THE AFRICANS THEIR FREEDOM
A key part of Kings vision, aside from a quest for racial equality, was the idea of non-violence; he refused to use violent actions in
any of his protests, and taught his followers to do the same. Based on the principles ofGandhi, this factor of Kings beliefs and
behavior was a major influence on society at the time. Police forces didnt hesitate to use violence against demonstrators and
protesters, but in the face of their quiet civil resistance, the overblown physical techniques of force and brutality lost their power.
Martin Luther King was greatly responsible for the passing of theCivil Rights Actand theVoting Rights Actfor African Americans,
both in the mid 1960s. Both of these acts literally changed American law so that African Americans could not be treated
separately from whites. His victories in these two areas had a major impact on the United States and the world.
Martin Luther King did not make overt efforts to fight international civil rights inequalities; however, his U.S. civil rights victories
and speeches were inspiration for those who were involved in international racial injustice. By 1964 the United Nations'
membership had doubled from its 1945 levels. Almost 75% of these new members were from developing countries who were
committed to combating racial injustice based on the struggles of Martin Luther King in the U.S. and the racial persecution in
South Africa.
