  34. Even though he had many struggles he also had many accomplishments. While he was in school he won second place in an oration contest in Valdosta, Georgia. He and his siblings received a better education than the average child of their race during that time. It was hard growing up as a person faced with racial discrimination.

  91. Martin Luther King Jr. is someone I want to learn more about because I want to know more about the important things he did for the U.S. and the world. His work has made segregation illegal, and it gave African Americans labor and voting rights. This made the world a much better place to live in. Without him we would live in an unfair world with lots of racism and segregation. Martin Luther King Jr. Has affected me by standing up for what he believes is right and not giving up even when racial discrimination and violent acts were done to him. He even gave his life doing what he believed was right.
