Some people are sitting at home with the day off from work or school thinking "Who was Martin Luther King Jr. Some even don't care as long as they get a day of relaxation. Even people who know who he is don't know what he did. And some even know that and they don't know the SIGNIFICANCE of what he did. Even I don't know everything he did but I want to learn.
The reason M.L.K. Jr. is SO important is he was a stand against racism. He was a voice of reason when everyone else wasn't. He stood up for his race KINDLY. He was better then most of us.
We celebrate M.L.K. Jr. day as a reflection of his death. His wife is still alive but, he was assassinated. he was one of the best people ever and he was assassinated by someone who did NOT think that black lives matter.But they do. They do just as much as everyone. This time is to reflect on all that he did and all that he was.
That is why Martin Luther King Jr Day is so important.
