Thesis 1

Martin Luther King Jr.influenced so many people not just blacks but whites to stand up for there rights and fight for whats right. He also made such and impact on everyone not just in the past but still to this day.Many people refer to Martin Luther King Jr. as an example of inspiration to do what they do. Take look at Barack Obama do you think with out the help of Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders that he would be the first African American male to run for president.And Colin Powell the first African American male to become sectary of state. MLK helped bring a nation together,and pave the way for African Americans to become succesful. Him winning the Nobel peace prize showed that he truly believed in what he did.The "I have a dream a speech",and how many people whites and black showed up to support him, was the one everyone will remember.

A website in which they are trying to get people only if they want to be involved with the creation of the MLK memorial. It shows a rapper Nelly in a video talking about MLK, about how he didn't know him but how he still made a differnce and how he wished he had known him. It is recruiting people who want to help build the dream of Martin Luther King Jr.

In this article about Martin Luther King Jr. it tells the story of his life.Telling the story about his childhood until his adult life. It's giving me personal information about his life as a kid, his father, how he became a priest,what type of schools he want to, how he met his wife and so on.The focus on this article was mainly on his personal life and how he dealt with it and his career and how he won the nobel peace prize.

I choose Martin Luther King Jr.for my NHD Project because I am interested in showing what a great civil rights leader he was, and showing the many effects he had on everyone not just African Americans.

This person is important to history because without his efforts where will be as nation as Americans. Imaging how much influence MLK is having on Obama for him to be the first ever African American to run for president.
