The man is a true hero.

He put his life on the line, stood up bravely for what he believed in.

But for him segregation in the USA might still exist!

Hi Andrede
Also like Ghandi, he used peaceful means, how many today can claim that, even if their cause is just?
Many of us claim to be Christian, few of us can hold a candle to Martin Luther King

Hi Alan

Martin Luther King learned a lot from Gandhi and put to good use his philosophy of Non-violent Direct Action. His resistance to retaliate dis-empowered the oppressors.
I think the events surrounding MLK and the speeches should be taught in school. Not as something to behold, but as a tool for learning about non-violence and equality.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.
I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character." MLK
