MLK’s sayings and doings

Martin Luther King Jr. said many things of importance. Here are some examples; “You are as good as anyone.” “Everyone can be great.” “Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that.” “Love is the key to the problems in the world.” “I have a dream that and little black girls will join hands with little white boys and little white girls as sisters and brothers.” All of these words came out of Dr. Martin Luther King’s mouth and every single one was pretty much ignored because of the hatred and people who were disrespectful. But, these phrases are now known around the world and brought whites and blacks together. Now the world is filled with whites and blacks holding hands and being friends.

                One of the great doings of Martin Luther King Jr. has to do with his daughter. Once, someone spit on MLK’s daughter’s face, and instead of starting a fight or an argument, he just peacefully wiped the spit off of her face, and walked away.  Of course, everyone knows about Martin Luther King Jr.’s big speech… “I have a dream.” The plot of MLK’s dream was that people everywhere would learn to live together without being disrespectful to one another.

                Also, even through hardship, Martin Luther King Jr. fought for what he thought was right. Now, everything is great between whites and blacks. Although there is some segregation in other states, other states celebrate the relationship that black people and white people have together.
