Martin Luther King, Jr. had a very large part in the fight against racism. He gave many speeches in public, expressing his feelings and opinions openly to help peacefully win this fight like no other man had been courageous enough to do. He was a very controversial man, and his brave actions lead to his sad death on April 4th, 1968. Martin Luther King, Jr. has made some great accomplishments, such as the Nobel Peace Prize. He was very committed to his community and helping those in need. On January 19th, think of this day without school not as a day off, but a day on! Try to go around your community and help, just like Martin Luther King, Jr. did. You might want to do community service or help someone in need. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a wonderful man, and we here in Student Council strive to follow his example.
