Martin Luther king helped shape history by giving people equal rights. He did this by, giving the most famous speech ever, "I have a dream" speech. Also, he led a very famous boycott and led the freedom walk. He was there when people were sad. He was a VIP. Would you and your friend be friends if he weren't there? Think about it.
Rev. King organized or was a key organizer in different marches and protests. The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, in which he delivered one of his famous speeches ('I have a Dream') - was on August 28, 1963. The march was initiated by A. Phillip Randolph. King was part of the "Big Six' representatives of movements organizing the march. It failed to start on time because its leaders were meeting with members of Congress. However, the hundreds of thousands of people attending started to walk without them from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial.
Long Walk to Freedom was created in 1995.
"If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward." - Martin Luther King Jr. "If you want to shine like sun, first you have to burn like it." - A.P.J. Abdul Kalam "If you can dream it, you can do it." - Walt Disney
Mrs. Johnson quotes a saying from the book of Proverbs in the Bible when she visits the Youngers' apartment. She mentions the phrase, "Them that's going—got to walk over the backs of them that's staying behind."
The most common legend about the first Christmas tree is about Martin Luther, and his walk through a forest in Riga, where he spied the stars shining through the prickly boughs of an evergreen tree. Supposedly, Martin Luther brought the tree home and decorated it with candles to simulate the effect of stars. Or to explain to his children how stars twinkled. Or maybe he decorated it with lights in order to illustrate the "majesty of Christ's birth." However, sadly this is only legend, and there is nothing in Luther's writings to support it.
