I heard a lot of people liked him so I researched him a bit and started to like him as well.…

    During the 1960's, one of the most important events in history was taking place: the civil rights movement. Martin Luther King Jr, the leader of this movement, is famous for his success in maintaining nonviolent measures to resist the harsh treatment him and fellow African Americans were receiving at the time.

    School is a necessary system worldwide to invest in a society 's future. The primary argument as to why educational institutions should be free in the U.S. is not to give everyone the equal opportunity to education as stated by Lawrence (a professor of History emeritus at SUNY Albany) although it is one of the reasons, the primary reason is to increase the number of educated workers to hopefully improve our economy.
