IntroductionFamous Quotation: "I have a dream that my four little children will
one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of
their skin bout b the content of their character."Best known for: Fighting with
words for Civil Rights.
3 Key Qualities:1. Took Action2. Demonstrated Bravery3. Viewed Problems as
O ortunities
What I find interesting is that
Dr. King always seemed calm
even with those hard times.
I chose this person because Dr.
King always made wise
decisions and he listened to
blacks and he used nonviolent
protests which I like.

Overcame a Hardship/Challenge
In1935 when Martin was six
he played with his friend for
the last time because Martin
was black and his friend waswhite. He couldn't play with
him because there was
segregation Atlanta,GA. I think he felt bad and angry
that who he plays with
should be determined by his
skin color.

Showed Compassion and Empathy
Dr. King's house in Montgomery,
Alabama got bombed but he just
said, "we must love our white
brothers. We must meet hatewith love." I think that MLK still feels love
towards the people who bombed
his house. Most people would
react with violence, want to hurt
the people, and take out
revenge on them.

Took Action
In 1955 Dr. King led a bus
boycott that nearly lasted a
year after Rosa Parks was
arrested in Montgomery,Alabama. After the boycott,
people could sit wherever
they wanted on the bus.I think Dr. King was right to
take action and make that
bus boycott after a
problem that could lead to
victory.

Persevered
In 1965 Dr. King led a 5-day
march from Selma, Alabama to
Montgomery for their rights to
vote. A little while after theystarted march, they were
attacked by police. They tried
again and they made it to
Montgomery.I think he persevered becauseafter they were attacked MLK
didn't give up and they kept on
marching.

Impact: How Things are Different Today
In 1960 MLK continued to
lead nonviolent protests
for blacks in "White Only"
areas, such as lunch
counters and restaurants. I think Dr. King was right
to try that because if he
hadn't, none of the blacks
would get to sit inrestaurants and lunch
counters and segregation
would have continued.

Demonstrated Bravery
In 1958 when Dr. King was
in New York he got
stabbed by a deranged
black women. If he sneezedhe would have died. I think Dr. King stayed calm
all the way even if he could
have died.

Communicated and Shared
In 1963 Dr. King led a
march on Washington
with 250,000 people
marching. He gave his "IHave a Dream" speech
on the steps of the
Lincoln Memorial.I think that he really had
to get what he said outand tell the people.

Im a Change Maker when I solve
the problem by using wordsinstead of fighting.
Im similar to my Change Makerbecause I like using nonviolence
instead of violence.
My Change Maker is
connected to Mohandas K.
Gandhi because they both believed
in nonviolent protests and King
studied under Gandhi.
