after reading all of my group mates posts about MLK speech it is a powerful speech that he said in Montgomery, Alabama in the 1950's. Rosa Parks had every right not to move out of her seat that she was sitting in on the bus. She did not need to move when the white people wanted to take her seats, so instead of just finding a differnt seat they tool her and put her in jail. The African Americans are the same people as the Americans just with different skin tones. We are all American citizens in the United States so why cant people all just be treated the same. So Martin Luther King says what Rosa Parks did on the bus was nothing wrong at all, she did not commit any crime what so ever so she shouldn't of been held in jail just because she didn't move. Val says.
MLK goes on saying that my friends, there comes a time when people get tired of beig trampled over by the iron feet of oppression. There comes a time, my friends, when people get tired of being plunged across the abyss of humiliation, where they'd experienced the bleakness of nagging dispair. There comes a time when people get tired of being pushed out of the glittering sunlightof life's july and left standing amid the piercing chill of an alpine November. There comes a time.
MLK is a man who just wants everyone to be equal as a person no matter what color skin they have or where they are from. he is a brilliant man who says if you are an american citizen than everyone should be treated as an American citizen period. President Obama is just like Martin Luther King, he won people ovver with is words and how impressive his speeches were, just how MLK did. That's how Obama got elected as president everyone loved how he spoke to the nation.
People listened to MLK as a nation and as a hole just like a big community and now everyone is treated the same and now there is no more racial diverdity in the United States all thanks to Martin Luther King.
