What would it be like if no one fought for us, but what if someone did… so much that they risked everything? Martin Luther King Jr. is my hero and I’m gonna show you how. Martin Luther King Jr. expanded the rights for all people, said what was right in front of thousands of people (even though they could have treated him bad for so), and King sacrificed his own safety for others.
So, one reason why I say King was a hero is, because he was determined to make the rights for ALL men, women, blacks, reds, purples, whites, and greens ‘cause he meant ALL. At a young age, King was on a bus and was told to move for a white, after hearing from his teacher that it was against the law to not move for a white, …show more content…
New York's Times stated that, King was doing signings for a book he had wrote called “Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story“, a woman named Izola Ware Curry walked up to King, while he was signing, and stabbed him with a letter opener. If King had even SNEEZED, he would have instantly died. The opener was right up to his heart, that had the ability to puncture a major arteri, making himself bleed to death. In Selma, King Jr. had not attended a march that they had set up and major violence took place. King Jr. said that he had not expected this and was angered by this greatly. King asked the president of the united states if he could do another march, but it was called off so King went and prayed down at his church with other close supporters. Then, the offer that King made was accepted later on. Martin King began the march by starting with himself in the lead, while everyone else was still on the edge and completely frightened but with King and all of them, coming together, their strength rose but fear still shadowed over them all. The march had successfully made it acrossed, letting them go through silently, it was stunning. Years later, King had arrived in Memphis, Tennessee but was shot in a hotel that was made and honoring him. King had been shot (assassinated) before he was going to a meeting and to speak, dieing on April 4th, 1968, by the hands of James Earl Ray. James …show more content…
He was not a communist people. Also, some people say that Martin had cheated on the entrance exam for the University that he had tried to attend, though it is obvious that he couldn’t because it is the University’s duty to fully check for cheats or the slight chance of tricks. Martin King didn’t cheat in the Boston University, because according to Boston University Admissions, you could see from his notes while he was in the University and you could tell his train of thought. People who go to that University even look at the papers from a box, so they would have to fully trust and look up to him which they wouldn’t give someone whi cheated in the University such honor.
Martin Luther King Jr. IS a hero, and we wouldn’t have survived well without the changes and movements that he made on us. King did a lot with making the rights for all people, stood out in every situation (good or bad), and almost died several times, then did die for us! Martin Luther King Jr. is a hero that everyone needed, and he’s my hero… Is he
