Martin Luther King is one of the best speakers and one of the most important figures in the movement of civil rights. He spoke for the other minorities to earn their civil rights. Martin Luther King Jr. believed that everyone is born with civil rights and that they should all be equally capable of pursuing their dream. He wrote a speech that we call “I Have A Dream” It talks about how he wants people to have the same opportunities because of their ability, and not because of their skin…

The Literary Techniques of MLK On April 19, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. wrote an open letter to eight clergymen who questioned his involvement in non-violent protests in Birmingham, Alabama. The Letter of Birmingham Jail brilliantly appeals to both the clergymen and a broader audience. King masterfully uses strategies such as narrating, exemplifying and comparing-contrasting. For the purpose of this essay, we will focus on the literary technique of Comparing-Contrasting in King’s letter.…

According to the article, “Heeding the Call” by Diana Childress, when Dr. Martin Luther King was a younger, society was very different then it is now, but without ML it would still be like it was when he was a child. Desegregation is something we should all be happy about, and thankful that he pushed himself to help the community. The injustices that ML faced as he was growing up made him want to repair the society. Martin Luther King was ML’s dad, and represented that standing up for you and…

Imagine a world where no one spoke up. Imagine a world where people stayed silent when they witnessed someone, getting bullied for no reason. Imagine a world where there were no words, no help, and no one to reach out to. Imagine that you were unloved,and feel like no one is helping you. This will come to life if we continue not speaking up for others. We should speak up for others because without speaking out, people will feel unloved and not utilizable in the world. Speaking out for others…

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…

“I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear” - Martin Luther King Jr. People today remember Martin Luther King Jr as a man who helped African Americans gain civil and economic equality. To me King was important because he never gave up, he was arrested 29 times, imprisoned for 11 days and even stabbed. King went through all of this and never feared what could happen to him nor he gave up, he gave his life just so others could have an easier life. In my school and me…

Martin Luther King, Jr. once said that “Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” In Cesar Chavez’s speech, he had the daunting task of simultaneously writing a eulogy in remembrance and love of Dr. King’s immensely influential life, and the job of delivering their shared message of promoting nonviolent action to oppose discrimination. 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 is taking this stance in response to claims by the local clergymen of Birmingham that King’s civil right actions are untimely. 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…
