     We all know about the speech about how MLK dreams that we all have equality. It also symbolizes freedom. Him and a bunch of other famous people like Rosa Parks stood up for what they believed in: FREEDOM AND EQUALITY. Martin Luther King Jr.s speech made a huge impact on not only the world itself, but geography. That's the reward you get back after standing up for what you believe in. In addition The First Amendment Rights state that we all have a freedom of speech unless, but school is a different story.

                             President of The U.S.A.

Martin Luther King Jr.

     Martin Luther King Jr. was the president of the United States of America in the previous years. He was the first African American president of the U.S.A. Another idea is that African Americans were not allowed to even nominate or run for president, Even if he didn't actually win the contest it is a pleasure to even say that he was the first African American son-to-be-hopefully-president of the U.S.A. And to this day any religion, culture, or skin color is allowed to run for president of the United States of America because of this wonderful, hard working man.
