Robin William once said “No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.” So what makes the words ring true every time? All it takes is someone who truly cares, and that person can make amazing things happen. Words and ideas inspire people, and when people are inspired, they do inspiring things. For example, take Abraham Lincoln. It seemed as though the whole world was against him, but he persisted. With his words and ideas he managed to begin the ending of slavery. His…

Both Dr. King and Chavez had spent their lives fighting racial inequality, and both brought about major changes for Americans (and the world) due to…

In “The meaning of King Holiday” Dr. King’s wife, says that MLK day should be a day of service. “What she means by that is how can others others serve after graduating and entering the “adult” world?” Well like MLK he didn't know what to do with his life after graduating and yet after his lifetime all races have equal rights. I am not saying everyone within their lifetime will make that huge of a change in the world. Even doing the little stuff will help change the world in some sort of way. If…

In “Letter from Birmingham Jail” Martin Luther King Jr. claims that time is a neutral force that can be used as a tool to induce change when and only if righteous men and women take action.

King argues that these actions must be taken because other non-active actions have been exhausted. King believes that when proactive action is not taken the oppressor benefits…
