My Hero Martin Luther King

I will present you my favorite hero Martin Luther King.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was an African-American Baptist minister born in Atlanta (Georgia) January 15, 1929 and assassinated April 4, 1968 in Memphis (Tennessee).

Non- violent activist for civil rights for blacks in the United States for peace and against poverty organizes and directs actions such as the Montgomery bus boycott to defend the right to vote, desegregation and employment ethnic minorities. He delivered a famous speech August 28, 1963 before the Lincoln Memorial in Washington during the march for jobs and freedom: «I have a dream." It is supported by John F. Kennedy in the fight against racial segregation in the United States; most of these rights are promoted by the «Civil Rights Act» and the «Voting Rights Act «under the presidency of Lyndon B. Johnson.

Martin Luther King became the youngest winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his nonviolent struggle against racial segregation and peace

This is my hero because this great man died because he defended black people, and the more he died because he was black. Like Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King is a great man who by their courage and values has changed mentalities in the world. He is my hero but also an example for me.
