Martin Luther King, Jr.
By Renata
Hello, my name is Martin Luther King,
Jr. I was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. I had one brother named
Alfred Daniel, and a sister named Willie Christine. I did not like how our skin
color mattered to other people. Schools, shops, restaurants, and parks were all
segregated and white signs and black signs were everywhere. I thought we should
all be treated equally.
One day I was told that two of my
friends will no longer play with me
because I was black and they were white. I thought that was wrong. I finished high school when I
was 15. After I graduated I fell in love with Coretta Scott, we married in
1953. In 1954 I got my first job as a pastor in Montgomery, Alabama. In 1963 I
led the biggest march ever in Washington and gave my I have a dream speech and
said “I have a dream that one day my four children will one day live in a
nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin color but by
the content of their character.” In 1964 I was awarded the Nobel Peace prize.
In April 4, 1968 in Memphis , Tennessee I was shot , one hour later I was dead.
