Martin Luther King Jr. a man who has helped lead to a great change. He was born January 15, 1929 which is also the reason why i am making this post. He was an American clergyman, activist and prominent leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. His main legacy was to secure progress on Civil Rights in the United States and he became an icon. He led the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and help found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957. He also led to the 1963 March on Washington where he delivered his "I Have A Dream" speech.
Martin Luther King made another famous speech called "The Other America". In the speech he speaks of two different types of Americas. One America is separated and was known for it's poverty around the world and it was a horrible place for anyone to live in. The other America however was totally opposite, everyone was united as one just like the constitution proposed it should be and America was known only for it's riches and prosperity as it was the best place to live in on the Earth. He speaks of these two Americas in a way that relates back to the topic of Civil Rights and why Black people have made so many efforts to stop segregation because it would lead to the bad United States.
