A man made of pure inspiration.
In his time, Martin Luther King Jr. did everything in his power to make peace in the world. He was a believer of a non-violent world. This meant he was involved in numerous racism acts and fought for his people in every way possible.
Born to be a leader, Martin Luther King Jr. did just that. He knew what he was doing with his life and he changed the society in his favor. People looked up to him as if he were almost a "God" and he lived up to their expectations.
Martin Luther King Jr.'s life is relevant to today's society; in 2011. A recent event, occurring in Tuscan, Arizona, changed the lives of hundreds of people. For no identifiable reason, gunman Jared Lee Loughner fired shots in a huge crowd of people. A meeting was being held outside of Safeway Supermarket by Congress woman Gabrielle Gifford. This woman ended up being shot in the head, and now is in critical condition. Federal Judge John Roll was killed along with an innocent 9-year old girl. Afterwards, the investigation police confirmed six people dead and fourteen injured.
Is there any reason for this nonsense in our society today? My answer is not at all. If only there was a modern-day Martin Luther King Jr. for the situation that just happened in Tuscan. Even if there was a replacement just as good, would our world be different? Would people take a stand?
