“It is time to lift our nation from the quicksands of injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.”- Martin Luther King Jr. He has gained inspiration from his fellow citizens to express his thoughts on discrimination/segregation. He did this act because of 1. Blacks (African Americans) were being treated . 2. They forbid to do things that whites were able to do, which is everything.

Everyone in this country is free and has the right to do whatever they feel like
