MLK

MLK was a terrific writer and knew how to express himself through his words in writing. "Letters From A Birmingham Jail" has many good qoutes found throughout,and I would liek to share a few. MLK made multiple outstanding qoutes throughout, but oene that stood out was when he said " We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hatefull words an dactions of the bad people but for the appaling silence of the good people" As a child i always learned to not just stand there when someone is being picked on. You are doing just as much damage not saying anything than being the one hurting him. Martin Luther King Jr. makes that perfectly clear in this sentence. ANothjer one that cought my eye was "oppressed people cannot remain oppressed forever" This is a qoute full of home and freedom. just by those few words. I took form that sentence that after awhile when things are rough, there will always be somethign within pulling you up,and make you strive for more. Especially back then,the africans had nothign to live for, but soon the thgouht of freedomand justice became alive in them and somehting to fight for. MLK's words are inspiring na dcan be realted to much today as well.
