Martin Luther King is very brave for being black in his time. Because you never knew what the government was going to do to you for protesting, boycotting, or striking. They would spray water on you. Sick the dogs on you. Sometimes even put you on a blacklist. Even some time they would send you to jail. Like Martin Luther King got sent to jail just for speaking. So to speak in public was very tough for being black. So that’s why I think he is very brave. He stood up to the white man. When he got sent to jail that didn’t stop him if anything that helped him. Because that got him going it made him angry that he got sent to jail. The government made it looks like he did something worse than what he actually did. So that made the letter from the Birmingham jail comes to life. Martin Luther King is also very smart. Because anytime he made a speech it was very well devolved. He also used very big words. You had to be smart to know a lot of them. With that it showed the white people that a black man could be smart. Another reason he is very smart is that he went to lawyer school. You also had to be smart to go to a lawyer school. Every time he made a speech he had very good points because he knew how things where souse to be. He knew that the government didn’t always fallow the law they were always trying to make laws so that the black man wouldn’t have as many rights as the white man. So he came up with ways so that both can be equal. You would have to be smart to come up with that. Becuase you would have to be smart to outsmart the white man.
Malcolm X is very brave too. Becuase even though it doesn’t say it in the in the speech. He had a hard life too. He was the one who took everyone BS. Because a few times he was sent to jail for things he didn’t do. Like this one time he was sent to jail because a white woman said he did something to her that he didn’t do. Of course they didn’t believe him. Why?? Because he was black. So I
