There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest
Prompt: "There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest"
Justice can be seen from numerous amounts of perspectives where it is due to the upbringing of the person or due to their cultural beliefs, however they are all guided by the principal of fairness. Sadly though, sometimes we may be powerless to prevent injustice from occurring, as we are not always in the position where we are able to do something.

King had once said "Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals", he was willing to sacrifice his life for the younger generations to come. He was willing to protest against the injustice occurring to his own race in hope of equality in the future. Rose Parks also was another black American who
