Recent Changes

It all started with one little bus boycott that changed history, forever.
Martin Luther King grew up in South America, where at the time, everything was segregated. Toilets, taps, entrances and even more had a white and a black section. The whites were assisted first, blacks assisted last and whites got the better of everything, blacks had to put up with the law according to segregation.

In Montgomery, a black woman was sitting in the white section of the bus. She was asked to move but she refused and got arrested. This started the bus boycott. Martin and his friends got the black people in town to NOT ride the buses. This went on for ages but he finally got a telegram from the US Supreme Court saying segregation on buses is illegal. This was the start of a new direction in history.=

Martin begin to lead black people in the South but One day his friend ran in and told Martin his house was bombed. Rushing home, he saw smoke on his house but his family alright. The whites had bombed his house because he was leading the blacks but he didn't respond with violence. He just gave powerful speeches to encourage the blacks to keep fighting for freedom instead. Martin kept leading powerful non violent marches to ban segregation.

On the ride back to his hotel, Martin sat in the whites only section of the bus and it was the best ride of his life. There was no longer segregation but there was a new problem: blacks had less pay and not as much rights as whites but this new generation of blacks that faced this problem had thought their only way to solve this was with violence so again Martin Luther King gave powerful speeches and marched non violently.
On August 28, 1963, 250,000 people of both black and white gathered under the Lincoln

I have a dream. They were the very wordsIt all started with one little bus boycott that changed history, forever. Martin Luther King Jnr said to 250,000 people whogrew up in South America, where at the time, everything was segregated. Toilets, taps, entrances and even more had a white and a black section. The whites were following his lead. Martin Luther King Jnr is a historical figure that will be remembered forever becauseassisted first, blacks assisted last and whites got the better of his actionseverything, blacks had to end discrimination. In 1964, he wonput up with the Nobel Peace Prize and was the youngest person at the timelaw according to receive it. He announcedsegregation. So as a child, he would turn the money overhad to civil rights movement. He also received five honorary degrees and was named man of the year by TIME magazine in 1963. Martin Luther King Junior grewput up with this racial discrimination. Hisbehaviour. His first experienced racial discriminationexperience was when he went over to his white neighbours refusedhouse to let them play with their boys even though they had grown up with them their whole lives. These types of incidents made an deep impact on him, not understanding why they were happening. Because of Martin Luther King Junior trying to makeson. The dad answered the door and through a difference he got arrested 30 times and was nearly killed several times onlylittle crack said "You can't play together anymore because of what he believed in. He never stopped for one second of trying to end segregation laws and making everyone see "all men are equal." In today's society, everyone is treated equally as in there are no separate bathrooms or place or entrances for blacks andhe's white and white are not better than blacks. This difference has been made because of the workyou're black". From that moment one he put into making it an equal world. He was murdered at the age of 39 and his birthday isnoticed everything. Before he had a child's innocence but now he had a national holiday in the U.S. I Have a Dream Speech (from )
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the historyrage inside of our nation.
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hopehim to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came aschange this nonsense. His father was a joyous daybreakminister. He went home to end the long night of their captivity.
Buthis dad one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregationday when he was probably in high school and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives onsaid "I want to become a lonely island of povertyminister, to help people in the midst ofsouth". He went to a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishedspecial school for budding ministers in the corners of American societyNorth and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatizeit was less racist there. He met a shameful condition.
In a sense we've comebeautiful girl Coretta Scott and married her. He came back to our nation's capitalhe South to cashhelp his family. In Montgomery, a check. Whenblack woman was sitting in the architectswhite section of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every Americanbus. She was asked to fall heir.move but she refused and got arrested. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteedstarted the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Libertybus boycott. Martin and his friends got the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negroblack people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."
But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've cometown to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demandNOT ride the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now.buses. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to risewent on for ages but he finally got a telegram from the dark and desolate valley ofUS Supreme Court saying segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Nowon buses is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment.illegal. This sweltering summer ofwas the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumnstart of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needednew direction in history. Martin begin to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquilitylead black people in America until the Negro is grantedSouth but One day his citizenship rights.friend ran in and told Martin his house was bombed. Rushing home, he saw smoke on his house but his family alright. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shakewhites had bombed his house because he was leading the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
But there is something that I must sayblacks but he didn't respond with violence. He just gave powerful speeches to my people, who stand onencourage the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seekblacks to satisfy our thirstkeep fighting for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.
The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead usinstead. Martin kept leading powerful non violent marches to ban segregation. He organised a distrust of all white people, formarch many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have comeyears later to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.
We cannot walk alone.
And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.
We cannot turn back.
There are those who are askingin Bellingham, the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodgingracist city in the motelsall of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghettoSouth. Martin really wanted to make a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their self-hoodmessage. He took the blacks and robbed of their dignity by signs stating: "For Whites Only." We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothingkept marching for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rollsfreedom even though blacks kept getting knocked down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."¹
I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. And some of you have come from areas where your quest -- quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered bybruised. One day though, the mayor ordered the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettosknock them down but they didn't. They had enough of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.
Let us not wallowhaving blood in their streets from the valleycruelty of despair, I say to you today, my friends.
Andtheir bats so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted inmayor told the American dream.
I have a dreamblacks that one day this nation will rise up and live outblacks could eat, sit, go to the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truthstoilet etc. wherever they want. On the ride back to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day onhis hotel, Martin sat in the red hillswhites only section of Georgia, the sons of former slavesbus and it was the sonsbest ride of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I havehis life. There was no longer segregation but there was a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedomnew problem: blacks had less pay and justice.
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 skinas much rights as whites but by the contentthis new generation of blacks that faced this problem had thought their character.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama,only way to solve this was with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the wordsviolence so again Martin Luther King gave powerful speeches and marched non violently. On August 28, 1963, 250,000 people of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama littleboth black boys and black girls will be ablewhite gathered under the Lincoln Memorial to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream thathear one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."2
This is our hope, and this is the faith thatMartin's greatest speeches ever, I go backhave a Dream, also his last speech ever to the South with.
With this faith, we will be able to hew out ofgiven. Several years later, Martin was standing on the mountainbalcony of despairhis hotel when a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transformshot rang out. Martin Luther King had been shot on the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up6 April, 1968 at 6:01 pm. He was an icon for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
And this will beall people across the day -- this will beglobe for Civil rights. He won many awards and got arrested many times for what he believed in. In 1963 he won the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning:
My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died, landNobel Peace Prize and was named man of the Pilgrim's pride,
From every mountainside, let freedom ring!
And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.
Andyear by time magazine. A man who spent 13 or so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltopsyears of New Hampshire.
Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.
Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.
Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.
But not only that:
Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.
Let freedom ring from every hillhis life working for civil rights and molehillintegration was fatally shot. These 13 Years of Mississippi.
From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every villagehis life has changed history forever because he stood up for what was right and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day whengave us all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:

Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!freedom today.
