Martin Luther King

I think Martin Luther King was a good political leader, because he accepted the leadership of the first great Negro nonviolent demonstration of contemporary times in the United States; and to do it, it is necessary have a very big conviction and motivation.

He made a difference in the government area, because he inspired the Negro revolution in peace!! King traveled over six million miles and spoke over twenty-five hundred times (!!!), appearing wherever there was injustice.

In a peaceful march on Washington D.C., with 250,000 people observing, he delivered his famous speech: "l Have a Dream" (In the picture, Luther King delivering his speech).

I like the phrase: “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”. Martin is an example, not only for the American people, but for the following generations.

In addition, Luther King was named Man of the Year by Time magazine in 1963 and at the age of thirty-five, he was the youngest man to have received the Nobel Peace Prize. Lamentably, he was assassinated on the evening of April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee.
