Martin Luther King
By: Jordan Juniel
Dr. King was a civil rights leader. He was born in his grandparents large house on Auburn Avenue in Atlanta Georgia on January 15 1929. He is important because he made it so back people and white people could be friends and like each other.
When Dr. King was a kid, he lived with his mom, dad, brother, and sister. Dr. King was a good kid and he had a good family. School was easy for Dr. King. He skipped a grade in elementary and in high school. An important event that happened in Dr. King’s childhood was that when he was around 5 to 6 years old, when he was playing with his friend, his friends mom took his friend away and said “you can’t play with my son anymore. Dr. King was very sad. He ran home and asked his mom why that happened. She told him that white people treated black people different and they were mean to black people.
The thing that motivated Dr. King was that when he started to grow-up he couldn’t see his friends that were white. He became a civil rights leader because it was not right that black people were treated wrong and differently than white people.
Dr. King was important because he was a civil rights leader. Dr. King was important because he helped white people understand that black people are no different than white people.
What we can learn from Dr. King is that everybody should treat everyone else the same. One interesting fact about Dr. King is that he went to college when he was 15 years old
