The immediate effects that he left was the 1968 Riots in Chicago, the improvement of the Civil Rights Act, and the Poor People’s campaign which demanded for economic and human rights for everyone in the United States. On the long term impact, his death led to a social change because of the acts that helped the African Americans get less discriminated. And last but not the least, the Martin Luther King was a positive impact because this day was all about service towards people who needed help. Some of the impacts that was left behind might seem to be negative but these impacts were all about change that everyone has an initiative on
He had hoped that he could gather a momentum that would extend the support of black churches because black churches played a central role in the Civil Rights Movement. Meanwhile, SNCC brought together like-minded students. Ella Baker, also a director of SCLC, started this organization along with student activists after the highly publicized and successful Greensboro sit-in in 1961. The SNCC gathered many whites and blacks and traveled North to South to protest in support of the civil rights cause. The SNCC ideas of a very successful strategy and tactic were to organize sit-ins, boycotts, and other protests across the country to end segregation in public places such as restaurants, public transportation, and schools (Janken).
Analysis of “I Have a Dream” and “Letter to Birmingham Jail” In the “Letter to Birmingham Jail” Martin Luther King addresses the criticisms and objections that the white clergymen had made towards his and his affiliated organization’s efforts in trying to end segregation and achieve his and his people’s birth right: the right to be free through nonviolent means. Through the “I Have a Dream Speech” King speaks to his supporters and as well as to the entire nation to make them be fully aware of the injustices they are facing and through this make them stand up to those injustices. Both “Letter to Birmingham Jail” and “I Have a Dream Speech” have the same underlying meaning however. That way too long have the black community been treated wrongly. That way too long have the black nation been “judged by the color of their skin rather than the content of their character (King 815)” and therefore it is time for them to rise and stand up for their rights.
King led movements that reached many and was heard around the world. His actions were meant to eliminate hate and segregation, pass voting rights for African Americans, and unite a Nation with equality for everyone. Dr. King’s accomplishments are taught to people of all races worldwide. His fights against the Vietnam War lead to the “Poor Peoples Campaign” that was a multiracial coalition who were working for economic change. Conclusion William “Bill” Gates and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. were both young scholars who took risks and faced challenges to improve the way of life for everyone.
He is very altruistic and believed that he can bring great social changes by bringing people together and making them realize that we all have moral responsibility to join hands as brothers and sisters in order to achieve the social justice. Martin Luther King stands in front of a bus at the end of the Montgomery bus boycott. Segregation of the buses was came to an end. Racism Martin Luther King felt that Society has made black people feel uncomfortable and fearful of people from different races. He believed that racial integration should begins with each individual, as a prophet he travelled across the country in conflict with itself, and spoke to all that listened, he spoke to the country about its most dangerous disease-racism.
A historical figure that has had an influence on me is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The reason why I chose Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is because he did a lot of great things for this world like leading the Montgomery Bus Boycott in Alabama to protest about racism. By him being brave enough to do something that big touched many people lives including mine. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. makes me feel like I can accomplish anything in life that gets thrown at me. Every time that I am in a bad situation or think that I can’t do something I just think about what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did for himself and all of those innocent people.
The events detailed in this book, And The Band Plays On, serves as a paradigm for improving the lives of HIV infected individuals, primarily by outlining the many mistakes that were made. It is clearly delineated in the book how the significance of unity and having a common goal is necessary to overcome an epidemic. It shows the monstrosity created when self-interest, lack of education and ignorance replaces common interest, substantial knowledge, and logic. The book demonstrates the difference that social work might have played and did play when and if educated properly. The utilization of social work could have offset the cold and insensitive manner that HIV/ AIDS patients received.
Dreams are powerful things that are usually the driving force for our words and actions. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech and Old Major’s speech in chapter one of Animal Farm by George Orwell both relay a message and express a problem they wish to solve. The application of rhetorical appeals, like pathos, ethos, and logos were utilized to influence their audience. Although King believed in peaceful rebellion and Old Major promoted violence as an answer, both used rhetorical appeals to notify their audience about the problems of injustice in their society. The injustice that King described was the discrimination and segregation of colored people.
By citing references of protest such as Jesus Christ, St. Paul, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln, he justifies his current actions for the Negro community and states that he is willing to face the consequences when it comes to protesting for equal rights amongst all Americans. This was the first time that I have read Dr. King’s letter from the Birmingham jail and I have to admit that it was a very moving and inspirational letter to the people of the Civil Rights Movement at the time. I think that this letter showed how he was always protesting through love and peace and never violence, even though he had been classified as an extremist by the white community. By showing this type of leadership he proved to be such a courageous and intelligent figure in the Negro community and his words of wisdom made such a huge impact on the history of the movement. I believe that without letters such as these to his fellow brothers, most protests would not have been “peaceful” and the entire pursuit of equality could have been in jeopardy.
It made some slave holders and their overseers brutal, it made other white people feel guilty and ashamed. Slavery was a moral sickness upon the
