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.
