My Name is...

Location

Hi, My Name is Martin Luther King Jr.
 
I helped African-Americans gain their civil rights. 
 
I was sick of “whites” treating people of color like trash.
 
They had no right to think they were superior to us or anyone for that matter. 
 
 One night I had a dream, in my dream my children were holding hands with other children where black, white, and other colors of the rainbow. 
 
I gave a speech about it on the steps of the Washington Monument. 
 
I wanted my people to experience what freedom and joy felt like.
 
No should be able to control you or your destiny ever. 
 
Hi, my name is Martin Luther King Jr. and I helped African-Americans gain their civil rights.
