Martin Luther King Jr. and Oscar Romero were both great students who spent many years studying. After being mentored by Morehouse College President Benjamin E. Mays, King felt that God had called him to be a pastor but also fight for social justice. At a young age, Romero felt called to defend the poor and fight the injustices being done by the government. There is no doubt that Oscar Romero and Martin Luther King Jr. were incredible men that worked diligently towards equality and justice for all. Whether it be leading the Civil Rights Movement (MLK Jr.) or challenging the power of the government during the civil war in El Salvador (Romero). Each had similar vocations that made them great leaders and adamantly defend basic human rights.
