Civil Rights Leader

My last post of the week will be over another man that you all have heard of. His name is Martin Luther King Jr. He was the Civil Rights Leader during the 1950's and 1960's. If it was not for him, things could still be how they were back then...segregated. Our mind sets would be changed to think that African Americans are not equal to white people. I just think that this is a little exotic and makes me wish I lived in that time period to have been able to see it for myself. This man was definitely one of the most important people in American history. He was born on January 15th, 1929 and died on April 4th, 1968.
His quote that I have here says, "We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope." I can see him saying a quote like this in his time. Because to him throughout his entire life he had to face disappointment. Everytime he heard about black men being slaughtered, or never being allowed to sit at the front of the bus. But he never lost hope, he became the Civil Rights Leader and with his help (though he was never able to see it), stopped segregation. So for all of us who think that because I lost this or failed this one test...It is not the end of the world. We could have it worse, like King and Rosa Parks.
I have used this quote a million times, it is something that I think most of us just naturally do to better ourselves. To make us happier. When I fail my tests I have to make myself feel better somehow. And just like you see on the movies, someone comes by and talks them into snapping out of it, by giving them hope. That is something that I would like to do because it makes me a better person, and I want to look up to Martin Luther King Jr. So i will follow his example. He was truly a remarkable man and everyone should hear about his story for the next 500 years.
