Martin Luther King's Stride Toward Freedom
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper discussing the 1958 book that rose from the year-long Montgomery Bus Boycott. There was nothing truly miraculous about the boycott itself, but such was not the case in what happened in the collective black psyche in Montgomery during the course of the boycott. Racial shame began to diminish among the black population; it may have begun to grow among the town's whites. Standard methods of intimidation lost their powers, even to the point that KKK cross burnings were less effective than at any other time. The act of civil disobedience that launched the year-long boycott was a small one. The results it accomplished were immense. Bibliography lists 1 source.

[ send me this essay ]
This is a 6 page paper outlining Martin Luther King’s messages on non-violence and brotherly love on the legal system during his time and in modern day. An outline of the civil rights movements during the time of Martin Luther King and their effects on the legal system in the United States were prominent in their time but have since evolved into quite a different movement in today’s society. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, King and his colleagues promoted the non-violent action towards peace and equality among men and women in the country. Inspired by Gandhi’s non-violent ideals, King was often criticized by other activists of the “black power” movement who demanded more action and protests rather than peaceful initiatives. Nevertheless, because of many of the peaceful initiatives backed by King affiliated well developed organizations, many civil rights policies were implemented in the legal system during King’s time. In the years since King’s death however, the social movements in the black and social rights communities have changed into more conservative movements and focused largely on the political climate and unemployment, illegal drugs, violence and urban blight.

Martin Luther King, Jr.: Importance and Contributions
[ send me this essay ]
(5 pp) Faith Ringgold (1998) a folk artist and author, tells in her children's book, My Dream of Martin Luther King "This time we had come to mourn Martin Luther King's death by trading in bags containing our prejudice, hate, ignorance, violence, and fear for the slain hero's dream. We emptied the bags onto a great pile, and as the last bag was dumped, the pile exploded into a fire so bright that it lit up the whole world. There,emblazoned across the sky, were the words: EVERY GOOD THING STARTS WITH A DREAM." This book, supposedly for ages four through eight, simply states one of King's greatest contributions: the ability to dream or envision how things should be. Dr. King's life continues to teach us that with courage, vision and determination, every one of us has the power to help change the course of our nation and the world. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
