In this speech by Martin Luther King, he talks about a women named Rosa Parks. Now Rosa Parks started a movement, that movement is what changed the rights of African Americans. Mr. King mentions that no cross’s are burned in the white neighborhood, no white man gets dragged out of his house and brought to some road in the middle of no where and lynched for no reason; no white man gives up his seat for a black man or women.
King also talks about how this has been going on for far to long, and this needs to stop. Rosa Parks finally did something that others wanted to do, Stand up; but everyone else was to afraid of what would happen.
King speaks later on about how everyone needs to stick together and for those not aboard to reunite those. King wants to get as many followers as possible to make everything fall into place and work. You cant have just 50 followers to carry out something huge like changing the rights and way everyone treats you, u need thousands+ to make this work. King told his followers, “ the road ahead will be rocky, its going to be rough, we just need to stick together”. In conclusion if Rosa Parks dint stand up for what she believed, black rights probly wouldn’t be the way are now. Martin Luther King was the speaker and fonder of everything for the African Americans. These 2 people both stood up for what they believed in and the outcome was much greater to what they were hoping for. Its extremely sad that King dint get to see the world he helped reform.
