King taught me and others that to really change the world you have to be kind, patient, and most of all you have to respect others. Although it took years Martin Luther finally gained the rights that black Americans deserved. He did it peacefully and did not raise his fists. If I wanted to change the world, all I have to do is follow Martin Luther King’s example and work hard. After all, anything can happen if you work for it.

One more lesson he taught future generations was that violence is a bad choice while you are trying to change something and just in general. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was an inspiration not just for me, but for everyone else
