Free Post: MLK and MLK Day

        Martin Luther King was a very adroit man, who was militant for equality for everyone. He did'nt do things like march, preach, and have speeches to help himself, but to help others. He did those things for the people who were also facing inequalities, for African Americans as a whole. He wanted equal transportation, equal education, equal living, he wanted everyone to be treated equally. He didnt want anyone to be judged or treated unfairly, because of their race, the color of their skin, or their descendants. Martin Luther King did these things not in a country or time where everyone wanted equality. He did these things while being affronted with words, which were very raucous.
        Martin Luther King day, is a great holiday, and it means alot to people and communities. Its a day where people's are off of work and school, and they dont just sit around the house. They go volunteer and do something to help someone else. People go donate things, like food and clothing. Some volunteer and donate their time, you can go clean up buildings or streets, go help with an event or go help clean a school. I chose to go volunteer at this years MLK Day of service and I went go help paint classrooms at Istrouma High. It was a very tiring and dirty experience,  but I was really nice to do something for another group of people.

  1. Good for you. Some of the vocab is a little packed in here, which makes it hard to see how you are using the words. For instance, there's not much context for "adroit." Also, though MLK was definitely passionate about equality, it's hard to describe him as "militant" as he is one of our greatest representatives of peace and nonviolence.

  2. Good job using the vocab. It's a good thing you recognized him, this is the first blog post I've seen about him.
