Dr Martin Luther King, Jr.
As you know this is my last post for this week so here is my 30th Summer Learning Journey post for Day 5 Week 2 Activity 3 year 6-8. For this task I was told that I could write about any politician or activist I wanted, as long as the post had the name of the person, what they do and how does what they do help people. I picked Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. What I found hard while making this post was finding a good person to write about. Here is my post about Dr Martin Luther King, Jr.

Hi Sophie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your blog post on Martin Luther King Jr. He was a truly inspirational man. Did you know he also won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1963?
One of my favourite quotes from him is this: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
African American people did already have the right to vote, since the 1870s, but Martin Luther King helped to end racial segregation which was a huge problem in the United States at that time.
Thanks for creating this blog post Sophie, I had no idea he died so young and delivered so many speeches!

Thanks for the great comment, Beren! Oops, I think I got that information wrong! SORRY): He would have been proud to get that award!
ReplyDeleteThat's ok Sophie! I sometimes get facts a little wrong too. There's so much information on the internet, it can be quite overwhelming.
DeleteYes, I'm sure he would have been very proud :)
Thanks for the reassuring reply, Beren!
