. Martian Luther King Jr. activism would make the most sense to use in 1960s America. Both Malcolm x and Martian Luther King helped shape the black community but both took different routes. Malcolm X condoned violence as using any means necessary, and Martian Luther King he condoned nonviolence. As for Martian he believed that blacks and whites should be equal but Malcolm didn't, he believed that whites were inferior to blacks.…

Dr. King was a great man he marched for freedom, he protested peacefully so that the black could vote, and most importantly he had a dream that the nation will rise up to its true meaning.

When MLK talks about the “end” I believe he is talking about a conclusion to any situation. Whether it is death or the resolution of a conflict, the end can either be good or bad. In one of King’s action programs should always be nonviolent, in turn leading to a just and pure endings. When we take war for example, the end is undeniably going to end with the loss of soldiers and innocent people fighting for their countries, but had the countries taken the nonviolent approach, then many lives are saved. Take the current War on Iraq for example, 4500 lives would be saved, and over 32,000 wounded wouldn’t be. I know that sounds farfetched and unfair to make that statement but it is the ugly truth. War is a prime…
Luther does talk a lot of the tensions he had combining each life. Changing his physical appearance seemed hard on him. He talked a lot about the clothes. He talked about how it make him feel awkward and uncomfortable. He said the leather boots he had to wear where most of the suffering, and how the white people told them if they walk in the dew with bare feet they would catch a cold. This was very strange to him because the natives when bare foot all the time and were never told of any type of sickness they could pick up. He also did not like the red flannel garments which made him feel like he was being tortured. He said he would get undressed and hide them away until he had to put them on again. What also challenged him about combining the white man life was having to…
Finally, the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. persist today. Unfortunately, the last breath of King occurred in 1968 after he gave his last speech where he emphasized as much he wanted to remain on Earth for a long period of time (“Martin Luther King Jr.”).

was to show that, you have to go out and work hard to fight for what you believe is right and by fight I don’t necessarily mean literally, because Dr. King made sure that he kept his movement nonviolent, but fight as in push through any and all obstacles that may get in your way. Dr. King showed me that although there may be some doubters, as long as you believe in what you can accomplish, that’s all that matters. No matter how hard the task may seem, if you make the right decisions and always keep in mind what’s best for the purpose you’re fighting for it…
Martin Luther King Jr. once said “The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy.” What he meant by these words is that by becoming violent in the pursuit of civil rights, it ultimately causes a loss of focus on the real issues. Martin Luther King was always against violence from his first protest in Montgomery to his death in 1968. He stressed that nonviolent direct action was what was needed to earn the rights and freedoms African Americans deserved. This way of protesting was a main factor in gaining support in the civil rights movement. Through media coverage of nonviolent protest the nation was shocked to see the abuse the protestors suffered. By using nonviolent…
Black lives matter, seems like that’s always said when an unarmed black teen is killed by a white officer. In my opinion, all lives matter. God did not create all human beings with their skin color being black. All of the protests happening today are really unnecessary. It’s not right to murder someone who is unarmed, that I agree with, but what I don’t agree with is people associating a black man being murdered by a white man with racism but not associating racism with a black man murdering a white man. I don’t see white people setting up and conducting protests, acting like they don’t have any common sense every time a white man is murdered by a black man.…

RING! RING! RING! You hear the church bells ringing to start worship. Getting up everyday to praise the lord is habitat. Finding a spot in the church is hard to find because so many people are there. You listen to the priest preach the word and look at the stain glass windows to understand the meaning. As you are walking out you see a huge fire in the middle of the court. A man is yelling “You’ll burn in hell if you don’t buy an indulgence! You need to purchase one to forgive your sins and for tonight only Pope Leo X is willing to sell you one.” Fear rushes over you. As you look around you see a monk. That monk's name is Martin Luther. You don’t know it yet but religion is going to change thanks to Luther. Martin Luther was a german monk and…
