There are probably not that many people who have made
more of a contribution to society than King did. Of
course, he did not make this contribution all by himself, but he did lead the Civil
Rights Movement and was very important in achieving the things that the movement
attained.
Before the Civil Rights Movement, it was
perfectly legal to discriminate against people based on their race. This is something
that is completely unAmerican, at least in my mind. Even so, it was legal and accepted
by most people in the United States at the time. The movement that King led was able to
undo this system. It was able to put us on the road to the much greater level of racial
equality that we have today.
By helping to lead America to
achieve much more in the way of racial justice than it ever had before, King contributed
greatly to society.
