Martin Luther King


Martin Luther King
We learned about Martin Luther King in history. He was born in Alabama USA in 1929. He fought for Civil Rights for black people. He wanted them to have the same rights and conditions as white people. He was a religious man, a pastor. He only used non-violent methods to achieve his aims.

In 1965 he organised a mass march from Alabama to Washington. He made his famous "I have a dream" speech here. He was shot on April the 4th 1968. America had lost a great leader and the world became a poorer place without him.
