Martin Luther King is a peaceful, powerful, and hopeful man.

Martin Luther King is a peaceful man. African Americans are treated like trash, as if they aren’t part of humanity. But yet MLK has never gone and burned the White man’s property, or fire at them with water hoses. He believes non-violence is the right way to solve this crisis. In his speech Martin Luther King says “ I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality.”

Martin Luther King is also very powerful with his words. Just by speaking he gets other African Americans to buy into his non-violence act. He has crowds of millions supporting him. Everyday more and more people would put down their weapons and instead open their mouths to speak of this nonviolent way.

Martin Luther King never gives up hope. He believes one day that all men will be treated equal. He believes that African American will not be discriminated against even though there were still millions of African Americans getting beatings by white men. “This is why right temporarily defeated is stronger than evil triumphant”

There is still discrimination but one day his idea of all humanity being treated equal will come true.
