Martin Luther King Jr. and His Dream

by Evan from Portland, Oregon in United States

He had a dream.

He marched

And he marched

From when the sun rose

To when it set,

He kept marching.

Through all the violence,

The pain,

The harassment,

And the pressure with the weight of the next generation on his shoulders

He kept marching.

 

Martin Luther King Jr. was a civil rights activist.

Most known for his march on Washington D.C. on August 28, 1963,

Where he delivered his most well-known speech, “I Have A Dream”

Where he talked about his dream of America

Being a place where people wouldn’t be treated by the color of their skin,

But rather by the content of their character.
