Response to "I have a dream."

Martin Luther King Jr. changed our country for the better because he stood up for what he thought was right for our country and our land. Despite that so many people doubted his thoughts and completely disagreed with his views, he continued to stand up for his beliefs in civil rights. Not only did Martin Luther King Jr. stand up for blacks, but he also had courage to stand up for other genders and people that were of different races and religions. Although he was not some soldier, the President, or any other elected official Martin Luther King Jr. is still, to this day, considered an Americann hero for changing our country in the positive ways that he did.

  1. I agree that Martin Luther King Jr. has done so much for our country and he has had a great impact. He stood up for what he believed in and did not discriminate against others. King also never backed down and he was never persuaded to think otherwise. I agree that he is indeed an American hero his determination is still changing our country today.
