This article from the New York Times is a very well written article. It was not filled with opinions like some. The author used many key words that help the reader relates to the topic. If you may not know about this monumental march to freedom, this is a great starting point. You can tell it was used to give the reader many facts. While reading I only saw few opinions, but other than that, it was strictly facts. A very good starting point. I believe this was written to show people across America to broadcast stories off people struggling.

For 200 years, whites abused, physically and verbally, slaves. However, in the 1960's it was time for change. Martin Luther King was using peace to solve his issues. They weren't just his issues, but all of the black races issues. Due to the inspiration King gave, many others rose to power, a prime example being Malcolm X, a member of the Black Panthers, and Nation of Islam. With all of the riots, violence, and protests, it was taken to politics. They passed many bills, some court cases were taken to the Supreme Court. The bills passed include many, but one being the Civil Rights act of 1964. This ended segregation in restaurants throughout Southern states. Without leaders stepping up, such as Martin Luther King, the world would be a different place.
