Martin Luther King Jr.: The Purpose Of Education

Martin Luther King Jr., wrote a speech called, THe Purpose of Education, for a college. Throughout his speech, he talks about how he believes education is being used for. These are my opinions on his speech, The Purpose of Education. In the speech Martin Luther KIng says that we need education to achieve reliable goals.
