  •  He had inspired a lot of people when he had been shot by a state trooper because he had a peaceful protest about having the right to vote which led to people doing a marching protest about voting. The protest was violent that’s why they called it “Bloody Sunday.” Which made more Americans agree to civil rights and passed the voting rights act.
