The quote that’s almost everywhere, from a speech by a man named, Martin Luther King Junior, He’s most well known for his civil rights movement, he also fought back against the Vietnam war, protesting non-violently about it His actions helped remove segregation from the southern part of the United States, and inspired people to be whatever they wanted for a job, for businesses, etc


Martin Luther King Junior lived in a middle class family, and he played with a white kid when he was young, and when they entered different schools, the white kids' parents told him he couldn’t play with MLK jr anymore and that’s when he discovered racism. He responded by joining the civil rights movement against racism in the law, which eventually worked.


He is most well known for the civil rights movement, which got rid of the racism integrated into the law in the southern part of the United States, he also spoke out against the Vietnam war, which is less well known than his civil rights movement. MLK JR believed that no race was superior to another, as in his own words “All men are created equal” (August 28, 1963 “I Have A Dream” Speech)  

Martin Luther King Junior was determined for his cause, and was brave and courageous due to the fact, he could get arrested for protesting. You can look up to him because he was protesting for the laws against black people to be dropped.
