In honor of Martin Luther King Day, I found an article talking about how Martin Luther King influenced the people of his time to strive for racial equality and as a result of his teachings we live in the world that we do today. 41 years ago, Martin Luther spoke at the U of M campus to around 4000 students teaching them about the importance of non-violent actions regarding racial equality. "That my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream, today!" This quote directly shows the depth of emotion that Martin Luther shows towards his teachings. This article relates to us in our everyday lives because everyday we must strive to treat everyone as equal no matter what color they are or where there from.
