Summary:
      Martin Luther King was born on January 15 1929. he grew up in Atlanta Georgia with a beautiful and loving family. His family was a very religious family whom were christian. Dr. King Senior was a big influence in King's life, he was whole reason why King became a pastor and was the serious and well educated man that he was. He would always come to his father and mother, if he ever wanted advise and they'd always be there to protect him and keep him safe. But there was one thing that they could really protect him from. Discrimination. There was a point in king's childhood where he first came face to face to face with discrimination. As a child, King would play with a kid who happened to be white and they were great friends until one day the boy told him that his father didn't want to play with King anymore. And that's how it came up. He came home with questions that his parents just had to answer and at a young age they were bound to come. As King became more enlightened about his life and society, he grew a strong interest in being more involved in creating a solution to racial ills.
      King graduated high school and went to college at a young age and participated in many meetings and dedicated his life to making everyone equal. King's life was threatened many times but that didn't stop him from moving forward and never fought with violence, but with peace. On April 4, 1968, King was assassinated but he dies successful. King defended African Americans to death and was and still is an iconic figure to the United States and the whole world.

Quote:
" With this heritage, it is not surprising that i also learned to abhor segregation, considering it both rationally explicable and morally unjustifiable." (page 31)

Reaction:
I really thought this quote was strong because i got see how King ties in his religion and what he truly thinks about segregation. He saying that because he's been introduce to Christianity at such a young age, he's known what's right and wrong. But even if he wasn't, he would've still believed that the racial problems existing are  "morally unjustifiable".
