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.
