He did I have a dream so now black boys and girls and white boys and girls if he did not do the speech some people would not be in the school and not have a wonderful school like mine.

The speech is powerful but isn't the only way to change segregation...

Martin Luther King Jr. changed America by stopping segregation. I learned that long ago, he struggled to live in the southern states because of the segregation there. People used segregation by using different lunch tables, seats on the bus, and even bathrooms! I think Rosa Parks also made a change by showing bravery that even though it was against the law she refused to let a person who wanted to sit exact where she herself was sitting. Now that's bravery!!!

He was so influential because he changed the law by peace. Tut he was admired by mahatma gahndi and I already know that he never fought with fists. I think Malcolm x was a really good leader.

The lesson we can learn from him is that don't judge others like white and black skinned colored to. That is the lesson as my claim. Also in the article it said that white should always be with black.

Martian was an amazing person. Why I say this is because he had a dream and he acomplished that dream! He made a great difference but we should all respect that because without him some of the great friends that we have now would not be able to be our friends. He had to face this many times and also he got put into jail and it was because of the laws but he didn't care because he had a dream.

Claim : Martin was very great man. Proof: he convinced people to not use there fists and even if they got beaten they still did March.resonining : with out him we would still be here but we would in different schools. I would go back in time and use his advice and fight with my words to make the guy who killed him stop before he kills MLK . I would use my words and convince him to join martins side.

What I learned about Martin Luther King Jr was that he grew up with everything segregated.It a was not fair for black people because only white people would get to do things and they were white people only signs,so Martin didn't give up and he gave speeches and lead marches but he went to jail a couple times but he still didn't give up. And when they were at a place at Martin was talking and giving a speech James Earl Ray killed Martin. And without Martin Luther King this whole world would be so bad and the world would still be segregated and black people need to be seperated from white people.From the article we read it said were things were.

The lesson is that Maritan Luther King changed that every one should be equal. He said he had a dream and that all little boys black and white will be able to play with on each other and he marched with the people who wanted to be equal and made things right. Another person who helped save ar country is Clareta Scot by helping Martin Luther King with changing the laws and being his wife!

He gave speeches that for black its not fair because he gave a speech that black people and white people will join hands and be friends.And he wanted to changed it because when he was little he had a friend it was white kid and the white kids mom did not let him play with Martin he wanted to change that even the white only sighns.Without Martin Luther King I would not be friends with lots of people.And one day a women named Rosa Parks sat at the front and she got arrested.

My claim is that I think that the while people back then thought by punching, putting white only signs and hurting people that would make a difference.
