King received a doctorate degree in theology and in 1955 helped organized the first major protest of the African-American civil rights movement: the successful Montgomery Bus Boycott".

Martin Luther King Jr was the middle child growing up  he was a very intelligent young man, in collage he attended the liberal Crozer Theological Seminary in Chester, Pennsylvania.

Martin luther king Jr was influenced by many of his peers for his radical views on racial equality, one of the many people who enhanced Martin Luther King Jr perspective on what was happing in society at the time was College President Benjamin E. Benjamin was a very outspoken man, one could say he influenced Martins spiritual journey with a huge impact. shortly after Martin was excepted into several colleges then made the decision to attend at Boston University. This is where he met his wife to be  Coretta Scott, a starting up musician, feelings developed quickly and in 1953 they married shortly after the couple decided to have kids and had 4 children. ]]> 2018-03-08 00:25:01 UTC https://padlet.com/clero011/lrwwku1zq5m4/wish/239456539 How did MLK Jr challenge what was going on in their world at the time clero011 https://padlet.com/clero011/lrwwku1zq5m4/wish/239456694 Martin luther king was a very bold man he stood up for what he believed in. Back in Martins generation  he was not seen as an equal in society, reasons behind this was because the colour of his skin. There were many racial laws back then, such as a black man/women and white/man women could not be together, and if caught being together the black citizen would be prosecuted and be put in prison or worse, the same went with jobs. If a black person applied for a job and a white person applied and they had they same qualifications the white person would receive the job purely because of there skin colour.

 Martin Luther King realised this equality mishap and he wanted to change it, how he made such a huge impact in the history we know today was by standing up for what was right. To get the people behind him this is what Matin Luther King did and he succeeded as the coloured nation began to stand up for themselves and things gradually started to change.]]> 2018-03-08 00:25:55 UTC https://padlet.com/clero011/lrwwku1zq5m4/wish/239456694 INSPIRING clero011 https://padlet.com/clero011/lrwwku1zq5m4/wish/239457178  The most inspiring qualities about martin Luther king was that he was so persistent and passionate about the dream he had. This shows to people that anything is possible and that you can go chase your dream or goal you’re searching for. If it something as big as racial equality or even something as small as helping one individual, Martin Luther King showed society that one individual can change so much and we should never be frightened to face the unknown, because if we are afraid we will never achieve and make a difference in this world.

 Martin inspired many  people by being the youngest to ever win the noble peace prize. this is an extraordinary achievement in its self but to also be the youngest winner is incredible. Martin Luther King has moved many people’s hearts but has also caused conflict as well but it has always been for the greater good. 

This shows that it doesn’t matter what age, race, religion you are we can all make an impact in this world, if its great or small it’s a difference and those who choose to be beneficial and contribute greatness to this world will achieve their goals and dreams.  

This is what Martin Luther King aspired to be like and he achieved it. Martin has made me change my world view and made me think more for others and less for myself as he did live like MLK

Having an open mind set also helped Martin with his jobs and how to approuch harsh situations.
 
Martin Luther king does not hold power through violence, in fact he has a strong belief in non-violent protest which helped set the tone for his speeches and movements (YourDictionary, 2018). So, Martin used his power to inform people and make sure everyone has the same equal rights.
]]> 2018-03-08 00:28:52 UTC https://padlet.com/clero011/lrwwku1zq5m4/wish/239457340 how did they take personal risks for the wellbeing of others rather then risking lives clero011 https://padlet.com/clero011/lrwwku1zq5m4/wish/239457927 Martin Luther King took risk for himself rather than others as he believed that if people where to follow him he must set an example, and by doing so he took action. Martin Luther King did this my putting himself out there in a very extreme light, he strongly believed in equal rights This put Martin Luther king in danger as many white citizens had a problem with Martin, as if he succeeded in creating equal rights it would take power and control away from the white community. 

Even though Martin was assassinated he still accomplished what he wanted and what the black people wanted. This was to stop racial segregation and discrimination, Martin had a great deal of influence in the American society, due to his assassination he set an example for the black community to say it is worth dying for what you believe in, and to have equal rights rather than live a life in the shadow of others, it should never matter what colour our skin is nor race. 
 
Martin Luther king did not force his opinions instead he transformed peoples mind set and inspired them. He told them what he dreamed for what he would like things to be like, for race not to matter and to work as a rainbow nation where a world cares about ability of knowledge and love not race. With his inspiring speeches and movements, he created difference and made a lot of people think differently about race equality as well as benefitting the black community.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty we are free at last.Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.


If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

The time is always right to do what is right.

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?
