Happy Birthday Martin Luther King!

in history •  7 years ago 

A true Human has been born that day

A guy that did so much for mankind, for the US, for civil rights movements. He was born on that day back in 1929. Martin Luther King Jr. was American Baptist minister and activist and probably was the most famous civil rights leader in the world! As a Christian he had the believe to solve issues nonviolent! I hope everyone knows at least his involvement within the 1963 March on Washington? This was the time and place where he delivered the "I Have a Dream" speech which is still touching me when ever I hear his words!

Martin received he Nobel Peace Prize for combating racial inequality in 1964 but it was not for recognition whatever he did, it was a nonviolent fight for freedom and equality! Obviously a lot people did hate him as they feared him and his movement, they thought he steals some of the things people want to maintain and he was assassinated by a dickhead on April 4, 1968.

A great man, probably one of the greatest ever on this planet!
