Martin Luther King Jr, one of the greatest orators that American has ever had is well known for his fight against racism in the United States of America. During his life, Luther King led the black Americans as well as other like-minded Americans of all other races to reject the racist mistreatment that the Black people were going through under the hands of the white Americans.

Girls are being discouraged from taking certain subjects, especially the science related courses and on grounds that they are females and cannot handle such courses. This discrimination therefore denies a lot of girls and young women the chance to pursue their dream careers in future. Discrimination within schools has been escalated by the fact that some races are being left out of crucial courses such as those that tough on the defense department of the country and those that involve administration intentionally so as to deny the chances of landing administrative jobs in their future. This discrimination still exist and it condemns a lot of people to suffering in our schools. Therefore, the
