Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929–April 4, 1968), was one of the main leaders of the American civil rights movement. A Baptist minister by training, King became a civil rights activist early in his career, leading the Montgomery Bus Boycott and helping to found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. His efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech, raising public consciousness of the civil rights movement and establishing King as one of the greatest orators in American history. In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to end segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience and other non-violent means.

A diverse community

A diverse community defines the word acceptance.  Since America and many different countries are melting pots and a land of opportunity for many people, immigrants from all over the world come to this fabulous country in order to seek a better life.  When gathering all these different races and ethnicities, you create a diverse community, where many people are different from each other and are fine with the fact that they live next to those who are less alike to themselves.

In a regular society of one race, you are a group and could be close-minded.  However, if you live in a community that contains many different ethnicities, then you are very likely to learn from them.  For example, many Asian cultures tell their children to respect their parents.  Other different cultures can benefit from this, and can tell their own children to respect their elders.
