Martin Luther King Jr

and me

Martin Luther King Jr. was a brave and kind man. He believed that all people, no matter what color their skin was, should be treated equally and with respect.

What can you do to make sure everyone is treated equally?

At that time, there were some places in America where black people were not allowed to do the same things as white people. For example, they couldn't go to the same schools or use the same water fountains. This made Martin Luther King Jr. very sad and angry.

When was the last time when you felt left out?

So he decided to do something about it. He started a movement called the Civil Rights Movement and gave speeches to thousands of people, encouraging them to stand up for what was right.

How can you use your voice and actions to protect others?

One of his most famous speeches was called "I Have a Dream," and he gave it in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. In this speech, he talked about his dream of a world where everyone was treated equally and with love and respect.

What dream do you have that would make the world a better place to live?

Martin Luther King Jr. worked very hard and faced many challenges, but he never gave up. His efforts helped bring about many important changes in the United States, and he is now remembered as one of the greatest leaders in American history.
