RE: What Martin Luther King Jr Can Teach You About You
What makes him remarkable enough to earn a place in history, for me, is his bravery in the face of opposition. Imagine the time, an America where prejudice was rampant out in the open. He might not be a perfect example in all aspects, but the model he gives has a sense of dignity and not really a rebellious spirit pushing for bloodshed.
It was a frightening time. I can't imagine standing up against opposition and risking his life on a daily basis... Very admirable indeed.
At least because of his bravery of speaking up in the midst of such discrimination, huge changes followed. One man dared, and others took courage annd followed.
Now we have and era where people know they have a voice that can be heard, and others also speak up for those who can't.
