Martin Luther King

Last Monday was Martin Luther King Day. I think that MLK day is really special because it celebrates a man who had an big impact on segregation. He also helped African American people earn rights and make laws fair for them. Some people were okay with the unfair laws. Many others were not, and many African American people including Martin Luther King were sent to jail for protesting. They would also boycott things that were segregated. Also, white people's things were always nice but the African American people's things were hand-me-downs and broken. But overall Martin Luther King was a great man. Even though he was treated very unfairly he never used violence.
