Martin Luther King Jr.

by Shaun from Auburn


MY HERO My hero is Martin Luther King Jr. He was a civil rights activist for African Americans in the 1960's. He fought for equal rights for African Americans. He is from Atlanta, Georgia. I would like to be like him by trying to stop all racism. One of his quotes was: "Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase." He was assassinated by James Earl Ray, a 40 year old male. Martin Luther King Jr lived to be lived to be 39 years old.
