Martin Luther King Jr. is remembered as a prominent African American leader who played a major role in the advancement of the civil rights leader. He is best known for leading the Montgomery Bus Boycott and for his “ I have a dream” speech. He inspired African Americans to fight for their rights and to end racial segregation and discrimination.
Most Americans recognize the name Martin Luther King Jr. and majority are aware of his significance in American history. We have dedicated an entire day to remember his heroic leadership which is on his birthday. In my opinion, people in this country have respect for Martin Luther King Jr. and that respect will not disappear overnight. We have learned about him and his great actions which have been turned into movies, books, and are mentioned in songs and other media context and even everyday conversation. His courage inspires many to follow their dreams and he is the symbol for achieving what one thinks is impossible. He will be considered a leader for a very long time even though society’s interests have shifted towards the media, social networking, and current events, we should always remember the people who have changed our nation for the better. We need to show the future’s kids how important it is to stand up for what you believe in and by teaching them about Martin Luther King Jr., they will hopefully see him as a source of inspiration.
