Martin+Luther+King+Jr.

Category: Politics

Good afternoon, My name is Martin Luther King Jr. I was born on January 15th, 1929. I was a babtist-minister in the church following in the footsteps of my father. Durring my life time, One of the greatest social injustices of my time was the 'seporation' of black people from white people. Black people were treated like second class humans. They were treated like a race of survents and slaves and not considered 'good enough' to mix with white people. This was called 'Segregation.'

I wanted to change all of this. The way I wanted to do this was peacefully, in much the same way as Gandhi tried to do in India. I became an Activist, doing my best and everything I could to bring this to the attention of the world.This was not easy, Many people refused to listen and to accsept that this was wrong. There were many people both black and white, who WANTED to see change but, did not know how to bring it about. I founded movements that people could join to show their support for the freedoms of the black communitie.

After several years of hard work and political campaigning, my efforts finaly started to pay off and bring about real change in the way black people were treated in america and the world.

When completing a goal like I did, its not always easy to be the 'Learner Profiles.' Communicator, Risk-taker, Caring, and a thinker are just a few 'Learner Profiles' that I used and are. In order to be all of these things I had to communicate with the citizens of America and across the globe, and pass on that Segregation needs to stop, A risk-taker because it was a challenge and very dangerous. I care for both black and white communities, each should have the same rights. Thinking about where to start in the proses of ending segregation, is not as easy as it looks or sounds. I had to complete many steps such as(like I have mentioned before) sending out a message saying that segregation needs to end and now.

Durring this period, I became very popular and began to have alot of political influence. This attracted alot of attention and made me alot of enemies

I have not regrets for what I have done. I managed to change the lives of millions and alter the course of modern history.

If Martin Luther King Jr. was not born or had not been brave enough to take on this challenge, Segregation would not have ended for many years and it is possible that Segregation still could be going on today, in the year of 2010. Luckly, he was born and very brave.
