  2. King’s Speeches “Give Us The Ballot”, May 17th, 1957, in Washington D.C. -King wanted to enforce voting rights for blacks. He speaks of the good things that will happen if the blacks can vote. “’Love Your Enemies”, November 17th, 1957, in Jail -King spoke of loving your enemies and the good outcomes of doing so. “I Have A Dream…”, August 28th, 1963, in Washington D.C. -King shares his dreams about a nation with equality in the people. This prompted the Civil Rights Act. Alongside the Gettysburg Address, it is considered one of the most memorable speeches of all time. “Our God Is Marching On”, March 25th, 1965, Montgomery, Alabama -King spoke of how their feet may be tired from marching, but their souls were rested.

  3. Quotes “I Have A Dream…” August 28th, 1963, in Washington D.C. “I have a dream, that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made straight and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.” “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self evident: that all men are created equal.’” “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”

  4. Peaceful Beliefs Martin Luther King Junior chose to lead his followers in a way no one expected: peacefully. He admired Mohandas Ghandi for his philosophy of non-violent protest. He believed non –violent protest was the most important weapon in their fight for Civil Rights. “Despite the abuse he suffered, despite his arrests, Martin Luther King did not fight back with weapons, but instead fought back with the power of speech, not with words of hate, but with words of love.” -Monica Fisher and Allie Rhone

  5. Protests March On Boston-March 25th, 1965 King marches for imbalanced schools, and segregated housing. He is joined by 50,000 other people. Protest at Selma-1965 King protests civil rights and voting rights. Bus Boycott-December 1955- December 21st, 1956 King urges everyone to stop riding the busses in protest of Rosa Parks’ arrest for not moving to seat a white man.

  6. Religion Martin Luther King Junior was a Christian. Both Martin Luther King Junior’s grandfather and father before him were pastors at Ebenezer Baptist Church. Martin Luther King Junior served as a co-pastor there, and was also a full-time pastor at Dexter Avenue Baptist church in 1954.

  7. Views on Segregation King believed that everyone was born equal and should be treated as such. He dreamed that one day his children would be treated the same way as other white children were. He hoped that instead of by the color of their skin, everyone could be judged by their character.
