In honor of Martin Luther king, Jr.

Martin Luther king Jr. was a great man. He helped stop segregation. He stopped our normal way of thinking, that blacks were worse than whites. He helped us realize what the constitution meant.
His methods worked quite well. He did peaceful protests, not harming anyone, and taking his ideas from Gandhi. These worked efficiently, and he was quite famous. But not everyone appreciated what he was doing. one morining, he stepped out onto his balcony, and was assassinated. He died, and will always be remembered as a hero.
Now, without Martin Luther King, Jr., we couldn't have our current president, Barack Obama. If he hadn't stopped segregation, then we wouldn't have our current black president. I believe that Martin Luther King Jr. was an amazing man.
