Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr.


Martin Luther King, Jr., (January 15, 1929-April 4, 1968) was born Michael Luther King, Jr., but later had his
name changed to Martin.  Martin Luther attended segregated public schools in Georgia, graduating from high school at the age of fifteen; he received the B. A. degree in 1948 from Morehouse College, a distinguished Negro institution of Atlanta from which both his father and grandfather had graduated. King then enrolled in a graduate program at Boston University, completing his coursework in 1953 and earning a doctorate in systematic theology two years later.

Montgomery Bus Boycott

The King family had been living in Montgomery for less than a year when the highly segregated city became the epicenter of the burgeoning struggle for civil rights in America, galvanized by the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision of 1954By the time the Supreme Court ruled segregated seating on public buses unconstitutional in November 1956, King—heavily influenced by Mahatma Gandhi and the activist Bayard Rustin—had entered the national spotlight as an inspirational proponent of organized, nonviolent resistance. King had also become a target for white supremacists, who firebombed his family home that January

Southern Christian leadership conference
Emboldened by the boycott’s success, in 1957 he and other civil rights activists—most of them fellow ministers—founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), a group committed to achieving full equality for African Americans through nonviolent protest In his role as SCLC president, Martin Luther King Jr. traveled across the country and around the world, giving lectures on nonviolent protest and civil rights as well as meeting with religious figures, activists and political leaders. 

I Have A Dream
The March on Washington culminated in King’s most famous address, known as the “I Have a Dream” speech, a spirited call for peace and equality that many consider a masterpiece of rhetoric. Standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial—a monument to the president who a century earlier had brought down the institution of slavery in the United States—he shared his vision of a future in which “this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.'”

 This person have become my greatest inspiration and the most interesting people that I ever known, because of his speech, his smart thought and his willing to save black people from discrimination and make black people to feel free and has the same rights as the white people.

 Question:

 1. When did he born?
2. What is the most famous speech from him?
3. Where did he study?
4. When did he die?
5. What is his name before change to Martin?

SCIENTIFIC TEXT PASSIVE AND ACTIVE VOICE

Sometimes science simply confirms what we already know to be true. You know what I’m talking about: researchers will find evidence that  losing sleep  makes you cranky and bad at your job, that  eating lots of vegetables is good for your gut , or that  Uranus  is surrounded by a noxius fart cloud . Indeed, the new findings on the latter published in  Nature Astronomy  come as no surprise to those who’ve spent time closely examining Uranus. More than a year ago, planetary scientists  told  Gizmodo’s  Ryan F. Mandelbaum  that the essence of this ice giant’s scent would probably be dominated by ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide gives rotten eggs their stink, but it’s also associated with the odor of a human fart . Still, scientists had never  directly  detected the presence of these stinky molecules. Until now, that is. The authors of the new study examined sunlight bouncing off Uranus was captured by th...

Natural Phenomenon ( Tornado)

TORNADO  Tornado is aviolently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the gorund. It's often portended by a dark, greenish sky. Black storm clouds gather. Tornado is one of the most violent event in the world and it always cause at the United States, for Indonesia tornado is one of the rare phenomenal events because of the wet tropical climates.  And now it's tornado fact time : A tornado forms when changes in wind speed and direction create a horizontal spinning effect within a storm cell. This effect is then tipped vertical by rising air moving up through the thunderclouds. Funnels typically grow about 660 feet (200 meters) wide. Tornadoes move at speeds of about 10 to 20 miles (16 to 32 kilometers) per hour, although they've been clocked in bursts up to 70 miles (113 kilometers) per hour. Most don't get very far, though. They rarely travel more than about six miles (ten kilometers) in their short lifetimes. Tornadoes are classified a...
