My reflection of the great MLK

Time to reflect on this!


       This post is about the things i have learned and the reflection of the difficult, interesting, and troublesome things that i had to go through to make this how i did.  I would now like to share with you all the things that made this blog what it is.

    This paragraph is about the things i learned about my topic like the things that he accomplished and all the great and wonderful things he has done in his life.  Some things i also l earned were not so pleasant though, there was some ugly truth about martin that i wish i would not have stumbled along it but as i did it was very interesting to me!  Some of the things that i found different than i expected were how hard it was to find good solid research and credible sources.

       My second aspect of what i learned about this topic was how rude and men people were to Martin luther king jr. and everything they did in retaliation to his good works and peaceful deeds.  From the death threats to the rocks through the window to bombs exploding to phone calls Martin and his family experienced it all and still got through it.  One thing that really shocked me was the amount of self control that Martin had not to retaliate with any,physical violence but to be only peaceful bout everything that he stood for and everything he did he was calm and honorable about it.

     The most challenging thing for this post for me was the research and everything i had to dig through to find it because a lot of peoples posts or articles were all the same with out any difference what so ever so it made it a lot harder because i had to look so much deeper in everything to find good information.  It was challenging because when i would search something i had to make sure the author of that information did not just make that up and check with multiple sources to see if it was in deed correct.

Another thing that was also hard and made things very different was the iPad and how it behaved.  At times it would work great and have no problems, but at other times it was a nightmare. From the copy pasting from pages to the formatting or the links and hyperlinks and trying to make sure the sources are not plagiarized.  I had a few posts disappear at times then reappear somewhere else where i did not want them.  It was difficult but in the end i figured it out and had to troubleshoot the problem to find the answer.  

     The most rewarding thing about this topic and entire project of the blog was that i learned so much about my person and also, i learned about other peoples from having to read comments or comment on a piece or grade peoples it was very helpful go have that on hand and be able to not only learn mine but others as well. Also a very rewarding thing is the mount that i improved from my first post to now was a great amount!  As the effort and determination increased to get the project done so did my grade!  It shot up from my first post to my last few!

   Some rewarding things were i found a lot of organizations that either martin gave to or was involved in which offer many scholarships and i also saw what a great man was and how he carried himself was a great act of humility and kindness for everyone to see.  Although he was a great hero on the outside, those who knew him on his inner life knew he was just the same.  The strong hearted caring martin who will always be remembered on his day of days, where he has been chosen to be exemplified above others for the great things he has done.  His day, Martin luther king day.

Those are some of the great and wonderful yet depressing and sad things i have either learned or experienced over this project of researching Martin. I hope it was worth your time because it sure was worth my time to write it.  I hope this helped, thank you.

Achievments of the great MLK

Accomplishments of MLK


        I am writing about the accomplishments of MLK and what made him so great. He had many great accomplishments Nd i am here to inform you many of them!   My first accomplishment of his is the march on washington where he also gave his " i have a dream speech".  It was in 1963 that he did this and he was protesting racial  discrimination. The march on washington was a awesome accomplishment.  To me, this was a very crucial piece of martins life which made him even more a a great guy than he already was! He stood for what was right, even when he was persecuted.  " Martin luther king jr.  always stood by what he believed and what was right to him and the people."  biography.yourdictionary.com tells more about this awesome accomplishment of martins and i recommend going to this site if you like what you have heard so far!

My next accomplishment i have of Martins was his honorary awards from his colleges and universities.  Martin was awarded over 50 awards from different colleges he went to around the united states.  Martin showed what a great person he was not only as a man being but also as a student from his kindergarden class to his colleges courses which he aced he was a top of the line student going into college at only age 15! " He was such a gifted student of mine all the time, every time. He didn't ever mess around he was a hard working student to say the least." Says a college professor of martins at Crozer college university.  Read more of this at www.kbtx.com 


His 3rd Accomplishment was his nobel peace prize award.  Which as many of you know is very accomplishing and it is such a high award not many people let alone african americans back in that day were awarded.  Martin exemplified his skills and assets in every way he could. He was such a amazing man.  " Martin won this award because he was the only one in that era who qualified for it. Yet also he was extremely deserving of it.". Read more at www.kbtx.com


My fourth accomplishment i choose was him being elected for the president of the SCLC.  He was elected for this because all of the stuff he was doing was so great that there was no one else who could have done it better.  He was elected this because ll he was doing for the civil rights movement as well.  He was so smart that he had nothing to fear in leadership. ". No man could have done what he did.  He was a many among children".


My last accomplishment and one of his finest was him being awarded the medal of freedom by president carter.  He was awarded this honorary achievement because of everything he stood for and pushed for in his life of greatness. He had so much going for him and president Jimmy carter just acknowledged that and he was so fit for it. pabooklibrarys.psu.edu said " He was the conscience of his generation.  His life informs us, his dreams sustain us."  Which is a very powerful statement for martin.

Those are some of his many accomplishments to say the least!  In this i hope you see how great of a man, father, husband and friend he was!  He was with the people,to  the
people and for the people. He was a great inspiration.

The good, the bad, and the ugly. MLK

The good, the bad, and the ugly about MLK



          Martin luther king jr. was a very great man in history and he did so many things.  In this piece of writing i will be comparing Martin to the good and the bad that he did.
He was a very smart and intelligent fellow.  In my opinion the good out weighs the bad by far in this case.  We are only human and can not always be pleasing to people because the truth is we will fail at times and disrespect and dishonor people but that is life and its tough.  Although that is my opinion but librarythinkingquest.org  would be a great place to go to find more!

At librarythinkingquest.org  it says many things like " He was involved in many other marches, including the biggest one in Washington. There were 200,000 Blacks and Whites who marched along with him. He was standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, and there he gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech." This all goes to show how great he was and there are to many things to count. All his awards, the nobel peace prize that not to many have gotten and yet no African american at that time.

There was a dark side to him is what the about.com has to say about him.  Many things were pushed on him and against him in the time period because of what he stood for, yet also because it wasn't right.  In college Martin was accused and found guilty for plagiarizing many pieces of his work including speeches,  writing prompts, essays, and much more.  In a sense he was a cheater doing good.  Yet he wasn't just a cheater,  about.com states and i quote "a man who was a phony, a cheater, a traitor, and a sexual degenerate - gets a day of his own."

As you can see some people thought not only that but there is some evidence that was find saying martin would go out and find white women who would very much resemble hookers and have parties with them.  Not that much could be true.  I do not believe that to be true but it very well could be because everyone has their faults.  Their weaknesses.  Martin luther king jr. was also accused of getting money from a communist organization outside of the United States.  Which may have been true but in all honesty, who is sayng MLK is a bad person? You must be blinded in some sort of way.

Those are some of the things that make Martins life a good comparing piece between good, and evil.  Thank you for your time.
