This may sound weird coming from one of the lightest skinned women in the world (have you seen my legs?). But thank God for Martin Luther King, Jr. He was truely an inspirational man. He brought hope to many who felt trapped, oppressed, and looked down upon. He brought an age old issue to the surface and fought gallantly to right one of the biggest wrongs in this world. Through him, even decades after his death, he has inspired many to continue to fight for what they believe in. His cause was segregation and civil rights, another person's cause may be equal employment or the chance to be considered for a college scholarship equally. He taught us to dream, to work hard for our goals, and to stand up for what we believe in. I have learned so much from him, and from other courageous individuals like him. Thank God for Martin Luther King, Jr. and the many many others who have given thier lives to better the lives of those to come.
