Martin Luther King Jr.

Heroes display bravery, kindness, peacefulness, and doing what is right, no matter how many people disagree with you. So I think that Martin Luther King Jr. is a hero who has all those traits.

Martin Luther King Jr. was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee. Martin Luther King Jr. was educated in segregated public schools. When he was young, he helped his father as co-pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, and later became a civil rights activist. MLK’s family is his father MLK Senior, his wife Coretta Scott, and his 2 sons and 2 daughters.

I think Martin Luther King shows the trait bravery because he stood up for his race and helped stop segregation. He had to speak aloud in front of 200,000 people, even people who didn’t believe in what he was for. He also shows the trait kindness because whenever he had a rally, he never insulted anyone.

MLK also showed the trait of peacefulness, because his rallies were never violent. Finally, MLK shows the trait of doing what is right no matter what people say, because when he was yelled at and even threatened, but still did what he believed was right.

I believe MLK was a true hero. He was brave, he was kind, he wasn’t violent, and he did what was right, no matter what people say.
