Martin Luther King Day
Why do we have no school on Monday? We don’t have school because its Martin Luther kings birthday. Why would schools across the country close to honor MLK? They closed cause he ended racism, no m0ore blacks and whites separation. What’s the point? Lets say that MLK was not born, the world would still be separated from black and whites. Would his legacy be better served by staying in school? We don’t have school that day because we are honoring him. They don’t think that there should be school on that day. It is to honor and thank Martin Luther King. Martin Luther King helped us a lot. He showed us what we couldn’t see, he showed us that we were all the same on the in side and that it doesn’t matter what skin tone you were we are all the same.
“I submit to you that if a man hasn’t discovered something he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.” Martin Luther King Jr., Speech in Detroit, June 23, 1963 (web site)
