Changing History

Changing History

 M.L.K also known as Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the most honored american presidents to live. The greatest achievement of M.L.K was undoubtedly as a leader of the american civil rights movement. He defended the Americans and African descent and fought for their rights. About 50 years ago he overturned Jim Crow's laws, which relegated African Americans and other races to the back of buses. Mostly all of the African American's and other minorities became slaves when they came to North America. King himself was a black person and thought that he needs to make a change. He put a stupid amount of money into helping these people out and fighting to overturn the rights. The guy made a huge impact on the United States and how the black people were treated. Everyone should be treated evenly was what he got through everyone's head. His birthday 3rd of January is now celebrated as Martin Luther King Jr. day.   Another one of Martin's great accomplishments was the institution of the southern christian leadership conference. An American civil right, aimed at supporting the philosophy of non-violence. As this conference got more popular more activists jumped into to help this great cause. King would protest with the African Americans for there rights. He would organize nightly marches involving lots of protesting. This man should be known for all the stuff he has accomplished and everyone should know of this great man and what he has done for us.
