Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stood up for what he believed was right. he stood up for African Americans and other small minorties that were being discriminated against. he helped to change how we live by giving African Americans the same opportunities that we have. they no longer have to sit in the back of the bus, go to a different school, or even work a certain job. they have the freedom to do everything that we can do.

Martin Luther King, Jr. did not accept racism and slavery to people like him ( black people)

Here's a story with your answer ...One day a black woman took the last space seat in a bus in America. The bus came to a bus stop and a white woman came on and the black woman was supposed to get out of the chair and give the seat to the white woman but the woman on the seat said no !!! i don't think that there should be a black and a white section on a bus because that is causing discrimination and unfairness and singleing people out.

If black people have to be disrespected by white people and give their seats to them then black people will not use the buses at all!

Of course most of the people on the buses in America were black people so the white Americans had to give up all that racial segregation because it would mean that they wouldn't be earning money off buses and more...

so here u have it the answer for ur question thx 4 listening bye bye :p

martin Luther king helped change history by his I Have a Dream speech

"i have a dream that one day my children will not be judged by the color of their skin but by their character"

during this time the KKK was around and he was the first black leader that stopped racism.

king changed history on all for the African American's but for coloured people meaning tanned people, spanish, black, brown and any coloured skin tone.It's not what Martin Luther King did for just African Americans but what he did for ALL Americans that is significant.

Fifty years ago, America was run mostly by white Protestant males and all others were to one degree or another less than fully enfranchised in many ways. We now have many examples of people from backgrounds of all races and religions and both sexes who have achieved the highest levels in our society and it is no longer a rarity, it is becoming the norm. This not only recognizes their inalienable rights as human beings guaranteed in American law but makes the fullest use of human capital, the most valuable commodity we have. For this reason, Martin Luther King is not just an African American hero but a national hero and fully deserves the national holiday of commemoration we devote to him. No other society can boast an individual who has had such a profound impact, not even India's Mahatma Ghandi when there are still 150 million untouchables in India three generations after his death. Nations with their own racial and ethnic problems which have not even recognized them let alone begun to solve them would do well to study his teachings and how those who used them in America successfully dealt with this difficult issue.(http://worldhaveyoursay.wordpress.com/2008/01/25/w

Martin Luther King Jr. made a big impact on African Americans life. First he had to show the world how African Americans should have been treated. To do that he wrote speeches and spoke of protest, to enlighten the world that there should be peace no matter what race, color, or creed.
