Changing the lives of African Americans was what he pushed for.

Martin was a very brilliant man who in fact won the Nobel Peace prize for his amazing accomplishments through his very short lifetime. His life was dedicated to changing the course of history for our people, to give us our rights and what we deserved! His non-violent protest and influential speeches preached nothing but the truth! Martin came from a peaceful and very religious home home, which set the stage for many of his astounding movements.

Martin was indubitably a leader! He was outspoken, unafraid to say what he had on his mind. He was had every quality an African American leader needed including persistence! Martin Luther King had many traits. The one trait that stands out to me is persistence! another trait he had was leadership! A few more were his ability to inspire and change his followers!

Martin had plenty of astonishing accomplishments! His greatest achievement no doubt was winning the Nobel Peace Prize, only the greatest of the great are deserving of this award. Martin has many, many awards, 300 or potentially 400. in 1957, Martin was elected president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference!

Although Martin is in a better place, his legacy will never be forgotten!]]> 2017-03-30 14:47:45 UTC https://padlet.com/lucasmcdowell/mvdin0u6ak39/wish/163727207
