Being tolerant of others is very important. Being tolerant means accepting someone whether the sex, race, religion, or the people they hang out with. Everyone is not the same, not everyone likes the same things, because if you're not tolerant towards people, that leads to bullying, and violence. It’s important to treat others the way you want to be treated. Not everyone has a lot of money, or have everything they want. Martin Luther King Jr. is a man who persuaded thousands in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. His point was to prove that white people need to be tolerant of blacks, treating them the same as whites. The police officers were very violent, spraying them with fire houses, and beating them non-stop.
