  Martin Lauther King was a good man because he wanted a better world, a world without discrimination where everyone has the same rights, no matter if someone is black or white, all people are human and should be treated equally. I admire a great idea and great value to  form a community that would uphold their rights and he was a leader in the movement to end racial segregation in the United States.

This man wanted a world of freedom with the same opportunities for blacks and whites; I think  that it's very interesting that he built an organization that did not mind the problems that would face in a world so racist. He was admired by all black people because he was not afraid to face a society as racist. So, many  black people believed in their proposals, because they were tired of so much injustice against them, many also of abuse and blacks gradually united to confront the injustices.

In those days blacks were treated so badly, they had no rights to many things  but there came a man who said I have a dream, that dream for most blacks was almost impossible because they were discriminated against and few were many who despised blacks but none of that mattered, all that mattered was that they had to end abuse.

 He had a beautiful dream and got shot for it. He once said "A man who won't die for something is not fit to live." all he wanted was for race to unite as brothers, I see no wrong in that. I also think he is one who dreamed of peace, to stop the hate and that means to stop holding grudges against you boyfriend/girlfriend, best friend ect to stop the hate because we only live once. "We must live together as brothers, or perish together as fools".

He stood up not only for african americans but for everyone who thought jim crow laws were wrong. I wish he was still alive, even though he would have been in his 80's, he still would have fought for everyones rights. 

Unfortunately was killed and he died for defending the rights of blacks, for a better world, a world free of oppression, is death was not in vain; on the contrary it was worth it because after the world improved actions, and was gradually ending racism. 
The value of this man lives in all black people who always pay homage to him, and remember him for his great action and overcoming power.
