Who do you admire?
Personally I admire Martin Luther King Jr. because of his fight against the racism in the U.S.A. He was a
great leader. He definetely influenced to modify the laws in that country and in tne rest of the world.




                                            I have a dream that my four little children
                                            will one day live in a nation where they will
                                            not be judged by the color of their skin, but
                                            by the content of their character.
                                            Martin Luther King, Jr.




                               Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther king Jr. was treated unfairly when he was a boy because he was an
African American. In those days, there were laws that said that if you were African
American, and you had brown skin, you couldn’t sit at the same restaurants as white
people, share with them or anything!

When Dr. King grew up, he worked hard to change people's ideas about race. He
wanted people to understand that everyone should be treated equally, regardless of
what they looked like. Dr. King wrote one of the most famous speeches in history, called
“I Have a Dream,” that talked about his dream that one day in the near future, all
people would respect and care for one another and that “children will one day live in a
nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of
their character.”

Each January is celebrated Martin Luther King's Birthday to remember his dream.
Martin Luther King Jr. never used the violence to fight for the human rights!

Here it is an acrostic poem and a simple poem I want to share with you.




       Maybe they held you in too low esteem;

       All the while you were fashioning your dream.

       Religion and spirituality was your shield,

       Though, it was God who protected you on the battlefield.

       Incensed that you would dare ask for equal rights,

       None of your enemies could identify with your plight.
                                                                                    D. Wayne Moore




                                                     Free, equal people
                                                     Strong brotherhood
                                                     No matter color skin
                                                     Breathing, Sharing, and
                                                     Loving

                                                                     Claudia Karina Lopez.
