(MRS. PALMER SAID I COULD RE-SUBMIT) Initiating a bus strike, Martin Luther King Jr. led a 183-day protest demanding resolution. Despite progress, racial segregation in schools persisted, escalating with the presence of military police in various public spaces. In 1916, college students protested by ordering coffee in establishments that barred black individuals. The struggle for black acceptance extended to the army, where commitment to the nation became the route to recognition. His pivotal role in the civil rights movement contributed to the country's desegregation, challenging inhumane practices of segregation and discrimination. King's influential "I Have A Dream" speech resonated powerfully, providing purpose and impacting the world In 1964, seeking justice and equality, students moved south, finding a more accepting environment for their studies. Meanwhile, Martin Luther King Jr. emerged as a beacon for African American voices, addressing racism and advocating justice.

The work of Dr. King had an important impact on the Civil Rights movement because he encouraged people and gave them hope to peacefully fight against Jim Crow laws. He did this through his powerful speech’s. In the video it showed his speech “I. Have a dream,” “When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every tenement and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old spiritual, “Free at last, free at last. Thank God Almighty, we are free at last.”’He also, brung together whites, African Americans, Mexicans, Asians, and other races to stand together. He showed African Americans that you can make a statement and get what you want without being violent and taking their anger out. He gather thousands of people to make a stand which was the start of African Americans fight for Jim Crow laws, segregation, and discrimination. To this day Dr. King still encourages African Americans to protest instead of fighting for example the BLM protest for Gorge Floyd. The Civil Rights movement was important and helped America become a better place because it forced our government to deal with oppressed groups in society and to get rid of segregating and discriminating laws. Even though it took many years to happen, it did and African Americans could vote, sit, eat and go to school wherever they wanted to.

Dr. King and the Civil Rights movement were a big deal in history. Back then, Black people were treated unfairly—they were seen as less important than white people. They faced violence and even death. The Civil Rights movement aimed to make America more equal. People in the movement were strong and risked their lives to fight against segregation. Eventually, more people joined, and laws started to change. This made America better by letting Black kids go to school and breaking down barriers between Black and white people in public places. The effects of the Civil Rights movement are still seen today, making society more inclusive and improving things since then.

(Have already written in the journal. Doing this as a precaution.) I liked the quote that said “If you have nothing to die for, you have nothing to live for” which hits hard when you think of all the people who don’t try to cross boundaries so that their lifestyle would stay safe and unbothered. There were a lot of people who wanted to speak up but were too afraid to. They didn’t want to be ridiculed. It angers and frustrates me how they had to use separate restrooms and fountains from other people. It was unjust. I’m happy that young people took the lead to try and press on the importance of equality. They are paving a positive outlook for society.

In Dr. Martin Luther King's famous "I Have a Dream" speech, Dr. King states that "One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination," This is very important because it is meant to debunk the popular misbelief which circulated among racists at the time that when slavery ended, the oppression of black people ended, but this is wrong. Another very important quote from this speech is when he says "It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned," which emphasizes the hypocrisy of the US Constitution, which is supposed to guarantee equal rights, despite citizens of color not having equal rights. Overall this speech is one of the most important in the history of America because of the role that Dr. King played in the civil rights movement of the 1950s & 60s and the end of segregation.

The American civil rights movement benefited greatly from the contributions of Martin Luther King Jr. His encouragement for peaceful protest and his leadership were essential in the advancement of African Americans' civil rights. Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 are two examples of historic civil rights laws that were passed as a result of King's efforts. Ending racial discrimination and segregation was the goal of these statutes. African Americans experienced systematic racism, segregation, and discrimination in many facets of their lives during the lifetime of Martin Luther King Jr. Jim Crow laws, sometimes known as widespread racial segregation, were in place in the Southern states of the United States. African Americans were forced to live in segregated and unequal conditions in restaurants, public spaces, schools, and other public spaces.

When I see videos of everything he did and the work he built in the short period of his life, I am impressed. The strength and will that a person must have to love their country in that way to give their life as if they were fighting for it in war is to be respected. Dr. King is the greatest example of change that shed light on the dark areas in which our country had to work and took the responsibility of moving a change that would take all the sacrifice in the world to complete. I believe that this movement was of outstanding importance since it allowed two separate worlds within the same nation to unite and that is not easy at all. This movement allowed the creation of a brotherhood like no other, which had been broken and left aside by fear and conformity. The Civil Rights movement was the beginning of a new era where black people could see peace, they could see equality, hope and a light at the end of the tunnel that no one else had shown them. Concluding that thanks to this social and cultural movement that was so persistent at the time, it allowed America to unify, accept and evolve, allowing it to be stronger.

The Civil Rights Movement, summarized by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, holds great importance in shaping a more fair and peaceful America. Dr. King's vision, expressed in powerful lines like "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character," indicating the urgent need to end racial injustice. The movement played a pivotal role in challenging discriminatory practices, leading to landmark legislation like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. These legislative victories marked a significant step toward ending legal segregation and ensuring equal rights for all citizens, following King's call for justice, "Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children." The movement's impact extended beyond legal changes, adopting a cultural shift toward inclusivity and equality. Lines such as "This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning “My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing”” captured the aspiration for a united nation where freedom truly rang for everyone. The Civil Rights Movement, with it’s commitment to nonviolent protest and the transformative power of love, inspired consecutive movements for social justice. Dr. King's dream of a nation where individuals are judged by their character and the promise of equality has left a permanent legacy. It pushed America toward becoming a better place by challenging prejudices, inspiring legislative change, and fostering a collective commitment to justice and brotherhood. The movement's importance lies not only in its historical impact but in its ongoing influence, shaping the nation's continued pursuit of a more just and inclusive future.

Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children." these quotes help people realize that they are more than who they believe they are, these quotes are important since they bring people together and they become stronger and all of it was because of them maintaining hope.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous speech on August 28, 1963. The speech tackles the issue of racial discrimination, and he mentions his hope for a future in which white and colored people can live together peacefully and as equals. As Dr. King mentioned in his speech, "… One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. (…) One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition." Indeed it was a shameful condition. Discrimination is a problem that shouldn't take place among citizens of the same nation, all of which are supposed equal as mentioned in the Declaration of Independence. Americans shouldn't hurt their own. The United States is a land of opportunity and acceptance, regardless of unimportant factors such as race. Dr. King's speech was only one among his many contributions and he was undoubtedly the main driving force of the Civil Rights movement that, though it took place in the '60s, is still remembered and its effect is still present today. His speech restored hope in the tired men and women, and I believe that without someone like him to guide the movement, equality among races would have been harder to achieve in the country. He and his fellow activists made America a better place.

Dr. King was one of the most inspirational and important figures in history when it comes to the African American movement and equal rights for all races in America. King not only changed the way people viewed African Americans but helped pave the way for all races and people of all backgrounds to unite as one society. By speaking his thoughts and beliefs he gave people the confidence to stand up for their rights such as his famous "I Have a Dream" speech when he says “I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” This was very impactful because King said these types of ideas during a time when entire races and groups of people were automatically judged by the mere color of their skin. Skin shouldn't ever be able to define someones character as people are simply born with it. Another quote from King's speech is “Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.” This is important because it shows Dr. King's entire philosophy which was that everyone needs to join as one and learn to love each other. Today we remember Dr. Martin Luther King was one of the most important figures of history that was able to change the lives of African Americans and all Americans in general.

Its impact continues to be felt, and the speech remains a symbol of the ongoing fight against discrimination and inequality.

This signifies the importance of solidarity and collective action. This quote reinforces the commitment to continuous progress in the pursuit of civil rights, urging people to march forward together in the face of challenge and adversity.

" This quote is impactful because it portrays how Dr. King humanized the black community and aspired not they be viewed as perfect but as equals in the eyes of America. In addition, "I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice." stood out because it depicts Dr. King's optimism in the American people and his faith that even the most oppressed parts of the nation will one day treat everyone with dignity. Finally, "With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day." this was particularly inspiring because it demonstrates how Dr. King recognized that America would never be faultless but it could be made better if we went about our hardships as a nation that stood united rather than divided.

After listening to Dr. King I have a speech announcement I found it important when he mentioned "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." this shows the importance of not segregating others because we are all the same and deserve the same right, we should be judged by our personality and how we are as people, not because of our appearance. The Civil Rights movement was another key part of history and has allowed our nation to be the way it is in the present time. This movement expanded civil liberties, the overall transformation of society, and equality in education. This prevailed attitudes of racism to the community and society. Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a national holiday in the United States in 1983 signifies the recognition and impact he made in American history. He symbolized the fight against racial injustice and left a mark in history as he transformed society and its attitude towards other races and ethnicities. Martin Luther King also stated "We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities." this suggests that Martin Luther King and the rest of the African Americans were persistent about change and he included this in the speech to highlight the struggle that colored people had to go through at the time.

Another line is 'back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.' this line is explaining that racism and segregation can come to an end and will. This made America a better place because it gave everyone equal rights and ended segregation.

Dr. King was a crucial part in the Civil Rights Movement, one of his most famous moments was when he gave his "I Have a Dream" speech. Within the speech I found the quote: "America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check that has come back marked 'insufficient funds.'But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt." I find this quote important because it states that black people were given liberties but they aren't on par with those of white people. The bank of justice is meant to be the law system because they refused to change things until the movement was ongoing. Another quote I found important was "With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day." because I think hearing this live would've brought the mood up and make people feel empowered. It is a strong message that came true.

"Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice." This line in his speech is the main idea of what he expressed to Americans. He wanted racial justice for all and this is the time it needed to happen. This is why his speech was so important because it was also so needed for this country. That is also why we are the society we are today because Dr. King made it happen. "There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights" This part of his speech demonstrates how there will be no rest until they have their rights from being mistreated entirely. Americans wanted this essential change so we could all be equal and Dr. King was the man who was brave enough to stand for these civil rights and while doing it he made history.

The “I Have a Dream Speech” by Martin Luther King Jr holds significant value and make multiple important points. One of these points was the third paragraph of the speech where Martin Luther King Jr states that “But 100 years later, the Negro still is not free.” After this statement he goes on by repeating “One hundred years later” followed by the struggles colored people face. This is quite important to note because Martin Luther King Jr is putting emphasis on how long they have not been free. By repeating over and over again that it has been one hundred years, he is trying to shine light on the fact that colored people have been treated poorly for a long time now. Additionally, Martin Luther King Jr states that “Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice.” This part of the speech is major as well because he is empowering his audience to act now. Now was the time to fight for change and he tells his audience this. To make America a better place, he is trying to get his audience to fight for change and to not give into the segregation and racial injustice, which is extremely important because if they stopped fighting for change then it wouldn’t have occurred. King was listened to by his audience and they kept fighting for change until they saw it little by little. Furthermore, an important part of the “I Have a Dream Speech” is when it says “We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence.” This highlights how King wanted those protesting to protest peacefully. It is important to recognize this because violence was not the answer to the racial injustice to King, proving that he was being a true leader and simply wanted to create equality.

He showed African Americans that you can make a statement and get what you want without being violent and taking their anger out.

A quote I find significant in Martin Luther King's speech is, "One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination."This quote in Dr. King's speech is significant because it demonstrates how despite the countless times black people have had to fight for basic rights, it did not do much considering the United States continued with their old and ugly habits of racism and segregation. Making recognition of this fact was a step in the right direction to equality for black and white people. Another quote in Dr. King's speech that I found to be very important is "We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality." This stood out to me because it paints a picture of how determined these black people were to continue to fight for their freedom. Not only are they trying to fight for their freedom, but they are fighting for the many generations that will come after them. Throughout this process, they are very unselfishly putting their own lives on the line to achieve this huge goal. Both of these quotes demonstrate the importance of this speech during the Civil Rights Movement. It helped make America a better place because they risked their lives to fight for the freedom of others to put an end to this extreme hatred and segregation towards blacks.

The speech given by Martin Luther King called 'I Have a Dream' was his best speech. In his speech, he gave many good quotes, one of which includes "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character". This section of his speech explains his hope for his kids to be able to be seen by their character and not their skin. Another important part of his speech states that "a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation." but, "One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land". This section explains that even after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, which forbade human slaves, the black community was still not free. Lastly, a part of his speech explains how his ideas are deeply rooted in the American dream we all hold so dear; "Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. I say to you today my friends - so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream". Martin Luther King was a legend, and his words still ring throughout history to this day and probably will until this nation collapses.

However, a century later, the African American community still lacks true freedom.

Martin faced innumerable account of complications during his labor, such as police brutality.

It was essential for someone to step up and fight for the human rights of African Americans. Without Dr. King taking that role, who knows how much longer America would have acted unconstitutionally to those of color. America was made a better place once Dr. King became the voice of those who were being treated unjustly through his determination and persistence for change, overall leading to the victory of multiple Acts being passed, finally giving African Americans true life and liberty.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was the leader in the Civil Rights Movement during the 1950s and 1960s. The basis of the whole movement was for equality and/or equal rights for all people of color. Although many people tried to stop them like locking them up in jail, bombing the house of Martin Luther King Jr. beating them, and many more tactics done by the police, the Civil Rights Movement still proceeded because of how important it was to change the way people were segregated or how African Americans were forced to live just because of the color of their skin. Not only was Rosa Park's movement (She said "No" when she was forced to move to the back of the bus due to segregation on the bus based on skin color) a symbol of African Americans standing their ground but Dr. King's "I Have A Dream" speech became a symbol that after a very long time of being racially abused, people of color had a voice to use and would inspire those to stand up and voice out their opinions without any punishment. Currently, his speech continues to inspire thousands and remind society of how important racial and social equality is vital.

Based on what I hear and learn today about Martin Luther King and his whole biography. It talks about the whole process of having peace in the whole society of America and all people of color to come along. Martin Luther King played a big part in society by bringing all the people from the black community to able to fight through the horrible acts and policy of separation; and be able for fairness of the areas that they are not allowed to be in. Martin Luther King started his Civil Rights movement after another historic moment which led to Rosa Parks refusing to give up her seat to a white man and not sitting in the back of the bus. This would cause the moment that Martin Luther King would start to take accountability for boycotting the bus company to have everybody equal. The backlash towards the movements of having protests in areas is that white people and police would start being violent towards the black community and would beat them up, Martin Luther King made a speech towards the people of the U.S. to have peace and stating that we will all get along throughout the future. That speech made a big impact on the future and was an important piece in history.

The work of Dr.King brought forth many people of color and whites who disagreed with segregation together to protest the matter that affected all of the colored people's lives. Because Rosa Parks did not want to go to the back of the bus, Dr.King led a boycott to protest that bus company which started the movement that later got more and more colored people not to fear the want for freedom and to live in the true American way, which Dr.King protested it all in peace while many who were opposed to desegregate fought Dr.King and many colored people in such violent manner. It was world-changing to this day because of the voice that Dr.King had he had won the Nobel Peace Prize and got his own day in the calendar because he fought for what was right in a peaceful manner.

Dr. King and the civil rights movement played an incredibly crucial role in the world we know and live in today. Dr.King took the impressive initiative to lead this movement and brought attention to the injustices of society by practicing peaceful and nonviolent protesting. Rosa Parks was another extremely influential figure who in a way kick-started the whole civil rights movement. Even though life was complicated and extremely difficult for them, they were going through this together, giving them a sense of togetherness and family. For example, when they boycotted the buses they successfully boycotted them for 381 days by finding other ways to get them to where they needed to be, they did that together which in my opinion is what made them be successful in the end. Dr. King's impact on American society today will forever be remembered.

He was also a huge inspiration to lots of fellow African Americans. Dr. Kings speeches made lots of people want to spread peace across the whole nation, which worked very well. There are many reasons why he made america a better place. Just by completely getting rid of racial discrimination that stores would place.

The importance of Martin Luther King Jr. Comes from his unwillingness to let the tragedy of injustice that has plagued the colored community for thousands of years stop his protest for justice and freedom. His aptitude for forgiveness even when it's for the people that have opressed him was very different from the violence and the unrest that most people expected. It was important because America would not change until the people changed, but the fear of going to jail, losing their jobs, or even being killed was too high for a real impact to occur.

He showed peaceful protests can change a system and explained to young people the power of forgiveness.

The speech by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr at the March on Washington greatly impacted the civil rights movement in the United States. At the time, black and white Americans could not integrate by law. There were also acts of violence committed against black Americans during this time. The "I Have a Dream" speech given by King marked a turning point in the United States. Black and white men and women assembled in Washington D.C. to listen to the speech as King referenced the hypocrisy of the government for not treating all people as true equals. Shortly after, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The passing of the act made racial discrimination illegal by federal law. A stepping stone for an equal society was pursued by Dr. Martin Luther King and others during the Civil Rights Movement. Fast forwarding to today, people of all different races and ethnicities can sit down in a classroom without fear of being treated differently.

As I listened to Martin Luther King's speech, I could see why he encouraged others to protest and why people felt he stood up for those who faced segregation. He repeated his line "I have a dream " to make it more of a powerful message and to give his audience something they should also believe in as well. As Rosa Parks started the movement by not giving up her seat to a white individual, he started to stand for her and others who faced the same experience. Due to the boycotts and protests, it took only six months for the constitution to create a law where any color on the bus is allowed to sit anywhere. After Dr King's strategy worked he became more powerful and became the civil rights movement leader. His confidence and his delivery during his speeches also played a big factor and why people felt inspired to make a change as well, this is why MLK was important to the civil rights movement. Dr. Martin Luther King fought for years facing violence and arrest with his people who protested with him. Despite the many obstacles they all faced hoping they would end this movement it never worked.

Martin Luther King Jr. was a preacher in Atlanta, Georgia who fought against segregation and racism. Martin Luther King Jr was one of the biggest influential civil rights leaders in history, for this reason, we celebrate him today. By using peaceful protest he was able to persuade states to allow colored kids to go to white-only schools affecting kids from kindergarten to college. Not only for his generation but for every generation that lives in America not just African Americans but anyone of color. Sadly his life was taken after all the change he had done, freeing colored people from oppression and teaching that the color of someone's skin should not matter.

Martin Luther King was the undisputed leader of the desegregation movement The freedom fighters had to be unafraid of death The movement was energized but the law didn't change America is not going to change because "You have to change" police change their tactics, they lock them up in jail, throw away the key, beat them, and try to do everything in their power to stop it. I think Martin Luther King was a revolutionist and forever changed the way African Americans were treated in the United States I think the revolution was a good example of how we can demand change from the government (boycott etc.)

Dr. King was very patient and for a lot of people that is difficult and they want to be violent as soon as their visions begin to go down hill but for him to stay so peaceful the entire time show great patience. But what he was talking about should have been given to the black community from the beginning and there should not have been a need to start a movement for and there shouldn't have been any reason to bomb a colored person's house just because you are determined for there to be no change. His speech was moving and for many people it was their beacon of hope that maybe something will change. It is also very powerful that these people were ok with dying for this cause they knew that this would not have been easy and some may even die for this movement but they were ok with it they still continued to march and to show that there needs to be change made right now and this can not wait any longer as they have waited over 100 years for their rights, their rights that they were born with but are treated as if they are not the same as whites.

The Martin Luther King Jr speech was to protect and make black people equal to American citizens and he fought for their freedoms and that they would do something because at the time he was in the civil rights movement, Martin did what he wanted and said on what is true and how to improve the environment. At that time black people were not allowed to be with white people and they sent black people to war another bad thing was that they were treated as a bad influence. A lot of people had hope that one day they would take out this type of discrimination and that they would not let black people do something, black people were not allowed to eat or go somewhere where white person they don't want them to be near so many local and stores were putting signals saying only white people allowed or just black people allowed and was everywhere on the united states. Black people if they took the bus need to be in the back side just white people were in the front but with the civil rights movement they made things good and more than 500 black people were arrested. This is also an act of racism because white people do not like black people they see them as not part of America. They arrested the colored people and wanted to send them to Bermihan jail doctor king Jr was also there and they beat them with the water of the fire truck because white people wanted to stop this civil movement and blacks were in segregation. Also in Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech, he said the phrase "I have a dream" meaning that the American dream is not about the world but the nation and people who want to make good things to improve things that need to change and to accomplish something in life.

king had started a strike, no one was going to get on a bus until things were resolved, 183 days had to pass before there was finally progress. But not everything was resolved because they still did not want black people to attend school with whiter people. Everything got out of control because there were a lot of military police in schools, stores, restaurants, etc. In 1916 some college students came to a restaurant and simply ordered some coffees, with this they were protesting because there were places where the presence of black people was not allowed. Things were not improving for black people the only way they They were accepted by being part of the army, because they showed that they did care about the nation. John Kennedy also tries to support the cause, that day people came from all over America, both rich and poor were at that talk.

Ever since I was little I used to get so excited for MLK Day just because I used to love the mini party we did to watch the animated movie about him. Seeing all that during elementary school I began to understand things. How the rights of people were taken away from them, and how many individuals and families suffered from all the differences people loved to make about one skin. I recently read the letter from Birmingham and the speech for English last semester, we had to write a whole essay about the differences and similarities these both had. But what I paid more attention to was the way he wrote, the hint of sarcasm he put in his letter towards the chairmen who reclaimed his immediate action, or the personal feeling he gave during the speech. Dr. King had a specific way of writing and that lead to his speeches, you heard him talk and something moved in you. Martin Luther King JR. made America a better place by not being afraid, not being afraid to put his beliefs first and fight for what he thought was right. He made america great buy giving people opportunities rto make more of themself. He made america great by giving faith and hope for those not only who heard his church sermons but to any who herd what he was doing. He made america great but making poeple see that n matter where you cmefrom, what language you talk, or what is the color of your skin, you dec3erve4 to be treated with all of the decency and kindness that you deserve.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s impact as a Minister, activist, father, brother, son, friend, spokesperson, leader, and American is one we all often reflect to this day. This is concrete evidence of the influence he left. So many people looked up to him, and still look up to him. The amount of bravery it took to do what he did is astonishing. He stood up for rights and equality during a time of segregation between races. This was a time where you could without a doubt get killed for speaking up, and many did. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 hastened the end of legal Jim Crow laws and an era. It secured African Americans equal access to restaurants, transportation, as well as many other public facilities. It enabled blacks, women, and other minorities to break down barriers in the workplace, all throughout America, which positively impacted the future of millions. This movement helped make America a better place by allowing everyone to live in the same place, free. We all bleed the same, so why should we be judged by the color of our skin? Dr. King also delivered his famous and powerful ‘’I Have a Dream’’ speech on August 28th, 1963. People of all races attended this speech delivered at the Lincoln Memorial signaling their agreement with his message. Overall, it is insightful to educate ourselves on the history; the good and the bad, so that we do not repeat our mistakes of the past, and so that we continue to do what is right moving forward. ‘’Let freedom ring. And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring - when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children - black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics - will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!" - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

He made them realize that they were not grated their right like every other white person in the nation.to this his actions and speech have a big effect on how society is and how it is more equal towards everyone

Thanks to Martin Luther King Junior, not only African Americans but also Hispanics, Asians, and other ethnicities can now enjoy the freedom and respect that we deserve as individuals. The Civil Rights movement started from and for African Americans, but indirectly it gave non-white people the early acceptance of Americans and the opportunity to prove that we are more than just our skin color, the place we were born in, or the way we came to the US. Because of Dr. King, everybody can now be accepted and respected.

Dr.King was an advocator for the black community and an influence to many. During the times when the black community was being discriminated against, Dr.King stood as a symbol of light and as someone to look up to many black Americans. Dr. King's works were important because he helped make a lot of progress in the civil rights of African Americans, as well as helping many acts pass that turned down segregation in a few parts of America. His words and movements were important because they gained the government's attention, which had the power to change their situation. An so through his words and power, Dr.King made America a better place by permanently improving the rights of all African Americans and causing a chain reaction that helped end the segregation of the black community in America forever.

While Dr. King was giving his speech, it's as if the people watching were also picturing their dreams and future that they hoped for. The Civil rights movement was important because it gave African Americans the rights to their citizenship rights and basic privilege's like going into restaurants, transportation, etc. This helped make America a better place the rights to African Americans were given back and they were starting to make a change in society.

To summarize everything up, the African American people were getting treated very badly and they would all get sent to jail. This was very important in human society because it helped everyone become a whole and ended inequality amongst each other. This changed everything in the world, if it wasn't for Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks, none of this probably wouldn't have happened. This made America a better place because African American families didn't have to worry about being threaten from the white people and living a safe and happy life. Like Martin Luther King Jr. said, he wants his children to not be judged and now anyone rarely anyone gets judged. This represented America very well showing that we are all equal. Overall this was good for society and changed everything not just in America but the whole world.

while watching the Martin Luther King video and how he impacted our society today, I was able to gain a lot of knowledge. watching the video was able to open my eyes more on the brutality of people who were colored. I found it interesting that those that were black had to sing with power to voice their opinion. they were given no opportunities to give them freedom. with the help of MLK, the civil rights movement allowed black people to begin to experience the norm in lives. I thought it was interesting how people in the north weren't experiencing the same things that people were in the south due to moving at different paces. as far as MLK speech, I enjoyed it a lot. I thought that it was great wording with significant meaning. people were able to hear what he had to say and start that movement of freedom for black people. MLK voice was powerful. the day that we honor him will continue to be significant throughout history because society wouldn't be the same if it weren't for his voice and his speech.

I think MLK not only changed the world but changed the way of society. Mr. King gave black people hope that not only America would changed but they would be accepted and be treated like white because we are all gods children. I think half of us wouldn't be sitting right next to each other if it wasn't for Mr. King. His famous "I have a Dream" speech remains one of the most iconic moments in American history. Considering King's legacy prompts contemplation on the progress made in civil rights since his time, as well as recognizing ongoing challenges. It encourages a commitment to the principles of equality, justice, and nonviolence.

I believe the importance of the civil rights movement is an absolute major part in the reason why we call our country the land of the “free”. It allowed us to adapt to change for the better of the human race and set a good example for society today. Everyone is entitled to basic human rights and should be loved by one another. America is the most amazing country and gives the most opportunities and nobody should be denied their rights nor opportunities due to the color of their skin. Overall the civil rights movement was the best example to show that violence isn’t always the right answer, and Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. was the most heart fulfilling and selfless man to our nation and deserves every ounce of his national dedication on February 15.

After Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the bus, It started a bus boycott movement where most of the time the busses would be empty. Black people either were car-poled or just walked to their destination. Then MLK came in to be the leader of the Civil Rights movement. He was a compelling speaker and the youngest person to ever win the Nobel Peace Prize. On August 28, 1963, he gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech that about over 200,000 black and white people came to. But on April 4, 1968. he was shot and died. MLK did restore peace to the black community.

The importance of the Civil Rights Movement was to make America a better place with equality among those of color or not accepted in society. It helped America become a better place because the violence that would occur on the streets never came back because of discrimination. Dr. King was a devoted Christian. Christians mainly strive to be Christ-like. When his house was blown up, he forgave those who had blown up his house. I think forgiving those who've destroyed many of you're prized belongings and forgiving them with sincerity shows the spirit of Christ within them. In Matthew 6:14, Jesus taught, "If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you."

Doctor Martin Luther King was unlike any other figure because of his fixation on nonviolent resistance to gain equal rights for black Americans in the USA. Dr. MLK helped make America a better place by bringing about the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Each of these bills helped African Americans access civil rights across the country, therefore significantly improving life in the US. The Civil Rights Movement was very important because its purpose was to give African Americans the same citizenship rights that the whites took for granted. The Civil Rights Movement helped make America a better place by bringing out dramatic changes in the law and public practice, and secured legal protection of rights and freedoms for African Americans.

Dr. King was the leader of the Civil Rights movement. He was important because so many people looked up to him. They looked to him to be their voice in a time when the voices of African-Americans were not heard. The movement was important because it paved the way for equality in this country. It helped make America a better place because it led to the desegregation of schools and public spaces which meant the end of African-Americans feeling less-than because of their separation and inferior facilities. Dr. King was very different from other leaders at this time because he advocated for change through peaceful, non-violent resistance, such as the bus boycott. Another interesting tactic used at this time was people getting arrested, on purpose, in order to fill the jails. This section caught my attention because not only did they choose to get put in jail, but they made the jails their own space and said that it felt liberating. One person in particular mentioned how others in the jail with her always wanted her to sing. This is comparable to when enslaved people in earlier America told stories and kept morale high through singing songs called "spirituals." It made me think about how America, even a hundred years later showed similarity to when slavery was common practice, through the treatment of African-American people, but also the power music has on people's spirits and how it can be used to make very powerful changes. Dr. King was an extremely influential person in his time and even decades later, when we learn about him in schools and reflect on the progress he made for this country.

When I see videos of everything he did and the work he built in the short period of his life, I am impressed. The strength and will that a person must have to love their country in that way to give their life as if they were fighting for it in war is to be respected. Dr. King is the greatest example of change that shed light on the dark areas in which our country had to work and took the responsibility of moving a change that would take all the sacrifice in the world to complete. I believe that this movement was of outstanding importance since it allowed two separate worlds within the same nation to unite and that is not easy at all. This movement allowed the creation of a brotherhood like no other, which had been broken and left aside by fear and conformity. The Civil Rights movement was the beginning of a new era where black people could see peace, they could see equality, hope and a light at the end of the tunnel that no one else had shown them. Concluding that thanks to this social and cultural movement that was so persistent at the time, it allowed America to unify, accept and evolve, allowing it to be stronger.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr helped change America, he changed the justice system all over the U.S. I feel like his contribution and dedication influenced many other Americans fighting the justice system, this influence was great because i'm sure many U.S. citizens were scared to face the system just based off how dangerous it was, but with his actions, it helped all people, black or white, fighting this system together. I also feel like his word choice had a big part in the influence, his speech is so influential because of the choices of words, his words mean so much because of his dedication and because of his past, he was a pastor, he knew how to sway people with words alone.

Martin Luther King has greatly contributed to the history of the Civil Rights movement and the history of the United States of America. Dr. King led the Civil Rights Movement and promoted equality for all Americans of any race. He inspired many to join the fight for equal rights by using his speeches to create hope. Most notably, his "I have a dream" speech is still referred to today as one of the greatest moments in American history by how much it inspired activism and change. Rather than promoting violence to achieve his goals, he inspired others to contribute to the Civil Rights movement through peaceful protests. Although many Civil Rights activists got arrested, including Dr. King, their arrests instead made the Civil Rights movement stronger by showing injustice and the demand for change. In turn, the mass activism of the Civil Rights movement led to the passing of Black rights and equality, such as voting for all Americans and desegregation of schools.

If it weren't for the awareness that the movement had garnered, then we wouldn't be where we are now. It helped to make America a better place because we began to recognize the struggles that African-Americans had gone through so that we may address and help to resolve them. Resolving them makes the country better overall for people to live happily and pursue their own dreams.

The civil rights movement was significant because it helped segregate the white and colored people together. Dr.King was very admirable because he stood up for what was right when no one did. Even when he realized that he was idolized by many and also criticized by so many across the country, he still performed amazingly and inspired many, and pushed the civil rights movement even further. To work under that pressure is very difficult and astonishing. That speech is still considered one of the greatest speeches in history today. Almost everything that he dreamed of has come true to an extent. He was an amazing leader.

Dr. King was one of the most influential figures to go down in the history books. Throughout a time when people of color were afraid and discriminated against, he was one of the activists to calm those fears and give reassurance that one day justice would come, his dream. Because of Dr. King, immense progress in the civil rights of African Americans was made, many acts were passed, segregation was prohibited, and etc, however it took time for these actions to take place. Which leads to the Civil Rights Movement, Dr. King's era. This movement created a sense of hope for the black community, that hopefully they would see the day when they could bond with the whites. It was an era full of protest like the Little Rock 9, Freedom Riders, Sit-Ins, and etc. Although these protesters suffered consequence (which violated their right to peacefully protest) they left an impact on history and courts forever. So much so that they had no fear of arrest, because that was when they felt most free. Generally, Dr. King and the Civil Rights Era were crucial to the progression of our country as a whole, they crossed boundaries that never seemed crossable before, leading to a better nation.
