Martin Luther King

Martin Luther King Jr. was a very important person during the Civil Rights Act through the 1950's, through the 1960's. He became heavily involved in the Montgomery, Alabama boycott of the city buses, which was inspired by the bus company's insistence that black people only ride in the back. But that's not why I think he's a hero . I think he is a hero because of what he did. Without Martin Luther King we would not be in the same schools as Caucasians. He showed that race does not matter. It matters who you are as a person, no matter if you are black, white, Asian, Hispanic - no race just treat others for who they are, not for what they look like.
