Martin Luther King

by Katie from Llandudno

Martin Luther King Jr is a hero because he risked his life to end segregation and help bring African Americans closer to freedom! Martin Luther King Jr. was also a hero because he was the most important voice of the American civil rights movement, which worked for the equal rights for all.

Some of Martin Luther King's famous quotes:
"Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see"
"I had a dream"
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character"
"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends"
