Discrimination is a word we can’t escape in our lives.
Everywhere you go people might judge you for your color or your race.
A stranger in a crowd or even your own friend will judge you.
People had been fighting and protesting this situation for decades. 
Scared of the consequence, only a few people had dared to stand.
One man proudly stood up for what he believed to be right.
He protested with other black people,
He changed the views of the people,
And he made a difference for the better.

Born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia,
He was the middle child of three siblings.
He was one of the countless civil-rights activists.
He influenced other people who then fought for civil-rights.
He was remembered as the most lauded African-American.
He had four children, two boys and two girls.
He had a dream that his children will be free,
Free from people discriminating and fighting,
A dream that people will treat each other equally,
Not by their color of their skin but by their character,
Free from segregation and discrimination.

He demanded what was right for equality.
He only had one simple dream for his people.
He wanted to be free from discrimination
He was a beacon of hope for the blacks.
Who was this courageous man, I ask?
That man was Martin Luther King, Jr.
