Read the article, do some of your own research on MLK, and then answer this question:
Why was Martin Luther King, Jr., such an important person in American history? How did he help society? How did he impact the world?
Why was Martin Luther King, Jr., was an important person in American history, because he helped society and impact world by speaking out against poverty,and hunger against violence, against war. Many people said that he was great person and I think I agree that.

I think that it would be great to see Marthen Luther King alive teaching us about freedom because we can learn more about slavery and feel sorry for the black people,and also we can be educated better about history.

Matin Luther King Jr.,was a hero in America,and he totally changed the world, He was a black people who cried for freedom, and God didn’t ignored his prayer. Now adays, slavery is very strange to us, but it was a very normal situation before. And Martin Luther King Jr.,tried to find freedom, instead of distinctions and cruel treatments. And I respact him very much. If it wasn’t for him, stil, there could have been slavorys and levels between black people and womans. He is a real hero.
