Martin Luther King

by Armon Karimi - Middle School - from Eden Prairie, Minnesota in United States

Today I am going to be writing about Martin Luther King. He is my hero because he made black and whites come together. Before, blacks would go to different schools, use different water fountains, and like almost everything else. He was a spokesperson and leader since 1955 until his assassination in 1968. He lived January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968 (39 yrs old).

His most famous speech is “I have a dream.” He was assassinated and died at St. Joseph’s Hospital. On the night of January 27, 1956, when he was just 27 years old, Martin Luther King Jr. received a threatening phone call that would cause his life to change forever.

I hope you enjoyed my writing about Martin Luther king.
