Martin Luther King
«Martin Luther King dedicated
his life to love and to justice
between fellow human beings.
He died in the cause of that
effort». Robert F Kennedy
The speech of Martin Luther King
intensified the Civil Rights Movement
Martin Luther King delivered
the famous ‘I Have a Dream’
speech from the steps of the
Lincoln Memorial to a
gathering of over 250,000
people
T
He was behind African Americans getting basic civil
rights
Martin Luther King organized
and led many marches for the
voting right of blacks,
desegregation, labor rights
and other basic civil rights.
His efforts bore fruit when the
Civil Rights Act of 1964 and
the 1965 Voting Rights Act
were passed and most of
these rights were enacted
into law.
The King traveled over six
million miles and spoke
over twenty-five hundred
times, appearing
wherever there was
injustice.
Martin Luther King became the
symbolic leader of African
Americans
on April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King is fatally
shot while standing on the balcony outside his
second-story room in Memphis, Tennessee.
Although all major cities had riots,
Indianapolis remained calm after famous
Robert F Kennedy’s speech
«But we have to make an effort in the United
States. We have to make an effort to
understand, to get beyond, or go beyond these
rather difficult times».
Robert F Kennedy
Robert F Kennedy:
«What we need in the United
States is not division;
what we need in the United
States is not hatred;
what we need in the United
States is not violence and
lawlessness,
but is love, and wisdom, and
compassion toward one
another,
and a feeling of justice toward
those who still suffer within
our country, whether they be
white or whether they be
black».
Robert F Kennedy:
«But the vast majority of white people
and the vast majority of black people
in this country want to live together,
want to improve the quality of our life,
and want justice for all human beings
that abide in our land».
We should never forget about great people.
When we stop discrimination we bring peace in
this world, which everyone wants. Martin Luther
King wanted us to understand that we all are the
same, no matter if we are black, white or brown.
Nowadays we may say that he is the one who
really brought this thought in our minds.
– The Greek Proverb
«To tame the savageness of man and make gentle
the life of this world».
