This is a poem written by Danielle

MLK
Martin Luther King Jr. was a man with a
word. He never fought with weapons, but he knew that his dream would live on
forever. Through hard times, death and pain, he was a leader and when forced to
crawl, he would stand. Even though MLK went through harsh times, he had the
strength to fight for what he believed in. His words, “I guess it is easy for
those who have never felt the stinging darts of segregation to say wait.
Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the
oppressed.” It clearly states the
meaning of what MLK believed in.
MLK, the man you know as an inspiring
leader, is now a legendary person.
