Martin Luther King

When Martin Luther King Jr. got his Nobel Peace Prize, he was actually the youngest person at the time to get a Nobel Peace Prize. He was only 35 at the time! After he got his Nobel Prize, he still continued to work for civil rights and also started to work on economic justice for the Vietnam War. He was also known as a hero for standing up for civil rights.   

Martin Luther King was born on January 15, 1929. And during his childhood, MLK was loved and cared for by his parents but he was Depressed from Racial discrimination, and after his grandma died, he jumped off a two-story building, and started protesting when he was 26 years old.

MLK started his movement to fight and achieve legal equality for African-Americans and he did it by making speeches like the I Have A Dream which is about a future America that has freedom and equality for all. When MLK was making these speeches, he was arrested over 29 times throughout his lifetime, but even after he was constantly getting arrested, he kept on fighting for rights.

MLK was always visionary For making beautiful speeches, nonviolent only fighting with words, and courageous to stand up for every African-American I look up to Martin Luther King because when no one was willing to stand up, MLK was the one that did stand up for everybody, we can learn to stand up when something’s not right and that’s what MLK taught us.
