Martin Luther King: A True Hero
What defines a hero is their characteristics and how they embody the human spirit is their selflessness and they action towards others meaning that no matter the consequences. that’s what Martin Luther King was to the world and to me that’s why he was a greater example of a hero.

Among with being the leader in the group King was also well respected by all the group. Many believed that along with his family connections and professional standing that it would help enable him to find another pastorate.

For many years we showed patience and have also shown our white brothers sometimes we liked how we were being treated” this his frustration with anger over the segregation and how African Americans were treated differently. Kings true boldest and famous moment came on August 28th 1963. During the final days of his Birmingham tour in a swift attempt to bring the world together and ask for a peaceful change, an assembly of more than 200,000 people combined both with (Whites and Blacks) gathered together at the Lincoln Memorial to seek out equal justice for all citizens. The crowds were fully energized and powered by Martin Luther king and just his raw emotion and drive to deliver his most famous speech “I Have a Dream” speech, He talked so highly about his belief that all men one day would be brothers no matter the color.( King Martin,
