My hero

Hi! My name is Jake. Today our English lesson was about heroes. My hero
is Martin Luther King. He was a great leader in the African-American fight for
human rights.
Martin Luther King was born in the United States in 1929. His famous words
were “I have a dream”. His dream was about rights for black people.
In the 1950s, most black people were poor, and many white people were
rich. There were a lot of good jobs for white people, but there weren’t many
good jobs for black people. In some states, there were different schools for
black children and white children. It was Martin Luther King’s dream to
change this. In his dream, black people and white people were equal.
In 1964, Martin Luther King was the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.
