Dr. King was a very considerate man, in 1963 he was nominated Man of The Year for a TIME magazine cover. He never cave up on what he wanted. He continued with his dreams to make the world a better place. Even after he was stabbed in the chest, his house was bombed, and he had numerous personal attacks. He kept going, he didn't give up on his dreams. So for that he a very, VERY respected man.
If I were to describe his American Dream in my own words I would have to say that he wanted equality, he wanted change. Not just a little change like, blacks are allowed on buses, no. He wanted everything to change, he wanted the same rights as others had, for everyone to be treated the same. If whites had a drinking fountain, he wanted to be able to walk up to that drinking fountain and take a drink without being arrested. He wanted to be able to get on a bus, and sit where he wanted to, not where he was told. He wanted to make the same amount of money and spend it on what he pleases. If he wanted to eat at a restaurant, he could. I cant describe his dream, but that's what I feel his dream would be like.
He was thrown in jail for standing up for what he believes in, the people who took him away thought he was wrong and his way of thinking was just a waste of time. While getting to achieve his dream, he hosted a bus boycott, the biggest boycott in history. The "blacks" had to walk everywhere they went, which made them tired. Or if some of them were lucky they could get a ride from a friend or family.
In my words I would have to say his way of making his dream a reality was, holding boycotts, making speech's. The one that got through to almost everyone was his "I Have A Dream" speech. It was so heartfelt, and inspiring. It described how they can and should make a change for the greater good for the future. If it weren't for him, I don't think much would have changed.
I learned from Martin Luther King Jr. that, If someone gave me respect and treated me nicely, do the same, Even when others are cruel, kill them with kindness, be the bigger person. He dreamed of a better tomorrow.
