Martin Luther King Jr. has worked miracles for the people of his time, and all the way up to today, in an age where computers are an essential, televisions are in every room, and radios are things of the past, Dr. King's teachings and dreams are still alive.  Each day people are following in his foot steps and trying to use his techniques of non-violence.

In the present day we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day to recognize the efforts of Dr. King.  We also recognize his accomplishments with books, web pages, and magazines.

A few students of Jackson Creek Middle School were questioned about what Martin Luther King Jr. means to them.  A few responses are listed here.

 

Q. What does Martin Luther King Jr. represent, in your eyes.

 

A. - In my opinion, Martin Luther King Jr. represents the idea of equality and the beginning of the end of racial discrimination.  I believe that Martin Luther King Jr. saw the problems in humanity and utilized his full potential to fight against the segregation, without actually fighting.    -Anonymous, Blue Block

A. - Martin Luther King Jr. is a symbol of liberty, independence, honesty, and faith among the people of the United States.  Not many people could do what he did, make speeches to millions of people, stay calm under harsh conditions, and fight for the things that he believed in.    -Matt, Blue Block

A. - In my eyes, Martin Luther King is a powerful African-American leader that knows what he is doing.  Unlike some people, he understands that he is fighting for a cause, a very important cause that involves rights, independence, and freedom, all of the things that make up the United States.    -Nick, Jaguar Block

 

As the designer of this web page, I feel that it is part of my responsibility to actually participate as much as I possibly can.  Martin Luther King Jr. is an American hero, not for his acts, life, speeches, or popularity, but for his dream.   His dream was an American dream.  His dream involved equality, rights, independence, peace, and America.  He helped America realize its own pride, "All men are created equal..."  He was a leader with a first person view on the matter.  Without Dr. King's thoughts, opinions, and of course, dreams, America would not be where it is today.  This is what Martin Luther King represents, America.     -Jimmy Kan, Blue Block
