Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

We started learning about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. Here are some facts we learned today: 1. He was a very peaceful man. 2. Many African Americans were treated unfairly. African Americans could not go to the same schools and restaurants as white people. They had to sit in the back of the bus. 3. When the African Americans stopped riding the buses, they walked instead and Martin joined them. Eventually, that law was changed and they could sit wherever they wanted. 4. Sometimes Martin was arrested for doing the right thing. 5. He was born in Georgia. 6. When Martin was little he was not allowed to play with his white friends. 7. His first job was a minister. 8. He married Coretta Scott. 9. He gave a famous speech in Washington, D.C. "I have a dream..." 10. He never used violence to get his way.
