Marin Luther King Jr. was one of the most respected and influential men in America’s history. Not only was a phenomenal, intelligent, self confident, and determined leader, nothing less of what a hero should be. Martin Luther King Jr. was the leader of the Afro-American Civil Rights Movement. He organized non-violent protests for the freedom, equality, and peace between blacks and whites based on his Christian beliefs. King was a public figure who gave his life for the noble cause and fought for civil rights to be a reality, even until his last breath. He inspired millions and set a precedent for modern America. King was responsible for the passing of the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act for African Americans, both in the 1960s. His actions granted him world wide respect among many political leaders which gave him the power to bring major change into the world. He is well known for giving speeches such as “I Have a Dream.” Martin Luther King Jr is an inspiration because he inspires me to have hope, faith and victory in the midst of the storm.
