The Legacy Of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Dr. Martin Luther King was in Memphis, Tennessee on April 4, 1968 when he was shot and killed as he stood on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel. The leader of the Civil Rights movement was silenced that day but the cause went on and changed our nation forever. Laws were changed and now we have equality for everyone regardless of the color of their skin. Thank you, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I thank you for giving me, my family and my friends the oppurtunity to become whatever we want to become. Thank you for my freedom and equality.
