He changed the lives of African Americans in his time and subsequent decades.

He had a very popular speech called: I have a dream
This speech was important in several ways: It brought even greater attention to the Civil Rights Movement, which had been going on for many years.
After this speech, the name Martin Luther King was known to many more people than before. It made Congress move faster in passing the Civil Rights Act.]]> 2021-03-01 20:04:12 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielaneira3/bhr3xq7chr5yc7zh/wish/1255272735 gabrielaneira3 https://padlet.com/gabrielaneira3/bhr3xq7chr5yc7zh/wish/1255291706 He is the only American, other than George Washington, whose birthday is a national holiday.

The positive impact he made on US culture is matched by few.

He also was extraordinary making speeches. He was really good at oratory, and that's amazing. 
 
The first time that I listen to his famous speech (I have a dream), I almost cried, I was very moved because of it. 

And I think that the most admirable thing of MLK is that his ideology is always directed to equality but in a peaceful way.]]> 2021-03-01 20:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielaneira3/bhr3xq7chr5yc7zh/wish/1255337759 gabrielaneira3 https://padlet.com/gabrielaneira3/bhr3xq7chr5yc7zh/wish/1255358473 2021-03-01 20:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielaneira3/bhr3xq7chr5yc7zh/wish/1255358473 gabrielaneira3 https://padlet.com/gabrielaneira3/bhr3xq7chr5yc7zh/wish/1255371285 2021-03-01 20:26:39 UTC https://padlet.com/gabrielaneira3/bhr3xq7chr5yc7zh/wish/1255371285 gabrielaneira3 https://padlet.com/gabrielaneira3/bhr3xq7chr5yc7zh/wish/1255397150 Nadia Murad:
