Have you ever wondered how someone who is treated poorly and is abused turns his pain into power? On the bus if they didn't move he would be forced out or arrested. Well Martin Luther King jr did. Martin was born January 15,1929 in Atlanta,Georgia. He helped whites and people of color get together. He was also a Baptist minister and social activist.
Martin was just about a teenager or a boy he was coming home on the bus. Then the bus driver told him to move into a different seat for the whites. Martin wasn’t paying attention.The bus driver kept on yelling at him to move.After all the chaos, Martin was attended to Booker T. Washington High school. It was also a hard time at school. The whites bullied him by punching and kicking him. After high school Martin planned to go to Morehouse College to get a degree.People gave him stares except people of color.When his grandfather retired from being a minister, Martin decided to take over and became the rural minister.Martin loved being a minister, but he wanted a better job so he worked at a tobacco farm.
Since people were tired of being treated poorly Rosa Parks decided to stick up for herself but got arrested.Because she got arrested people of color decided not to ride buses …show more content…
He brought attention to a big issue that was incredibly controversial and sensitive during his time. His take on nonviolence was imperative in his efforts, and assisted in gaining traction for the movement.

On top of his Nobel Peace Prize, Martin Luther King Jr. was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Congressional Gold Medal, and is one of only four non-presidents to be honored with a memorial, which is located in Washington D.C.’s National
