Martin Luther King Jr. loved to travel all over the place and speak where ever

there was injustice, a protest or an action. In a couple of years later, he led a massive

protest in Birmingham, Alabama, started the march on Washington, D.C (where he

delivered the I Have A Dream Speech). Through many years of hard work, Martin Luther

King Jr. has turned out to be a very important leader in the world until his death. Without

him, Blacks will not have the opportunities they have today. He has brought about

economic and social equality to the whole world.

Martin Luther King Jr. brought about social equality by leading many marches,

and non violent protests. Due to all of these marches and protests, blacks are able to live a

normal life. We are no longer discriminated against as much as we were in the early

1900s. MLK has shown the world that it will be a better place if everyone just got along,
