Hello everyone! First of all, I want to say a BIG thank you for getting me 100 views on this blog! Yay!!!
Lately I feel like all I've been doing on here is moan- and to be fair, I needed to let it out one way or another; but probably not quite to the extent I did take it :3 So today I think will just be a thank you, and I want to everyone I know that I appreciate them, simply because I do! (cheesy, but oh well)
It's been very hectic lately so sadly I haven't been posting, but if I'm honest I can only post on here when I find time as school work gets in the way! In history class currently we're studying black segregation, and for tonight's homework I had to write an obituary dedicated to Martin Luther King Jr. Here it is:
Martin Luther King Jr. was a man who endured racial segregation, several bombings at his home, fourteen arrests, and multiple other attacks- yet he still pulled through for his campaign of desegregation for America.
Like the majority of black citizens living in 1950s America, segregation from whites played a massive role in King's life- the one thing he dedicated his life to getting rid of.
After completing his PhD at Boston University's School of Theology in 1954, he became a civil rights leader during the bus boycott after Rosa Parks' actions against inequality. This was King's first step towards civil rights- but far from his last.
His organisation of the civil rights movement led to multiple public speeches to both black and white audiences, a boycott in protest to the Vietnam war, and marches in order to stop the actions that were going against everything he believed in.
On April 4th, 1968, King was standing on the balcony of his motel room when he was assassinated by a white man. He was so highly opinionated across the world that in 1986, the third Monday of January every year was made into a federal holiday in the United States for his actions that changed everything.
Please let me know if anything needs changing in that, as I have never written an obituary before! Thanks again for reading, and I'll post again soon!
