Martin Luther King jr. was a man who fought for independence, he was a very important leader, someone who people respect. Martin Luther King jr. was someone who people could count on, and here are a few things that had happened in his life. Martin Luther King jr. was born on January 15, 1929.  He was a minister from taking over from his father, Martin Luther King. Since he was young he had always been separated from the white girls and white boys and he could never play with them because everyone would separate them. He never liked it that he could never played with the white people. They also had separate drinking fountains and they had to go to different schools. When he grew up, this was still happening, so he decided to do something about that. So he fought for independence, and he had a dream. He had a dream that slaves and slave owners will sit together, black and white, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics will come together and will hold hands and sing free at last! free at last! Like Martin Luther King Jr. I have a dream to, in my dream there was peace in the world, everyone loved one another, everyone believed in God, and everyone was there self and how God created us to be.
