Martin Luther King, Jr is famous for his speech, “I have a dream”, it was spoken when The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom taken place. The campaign ended up bringing good wave for black people because many black and white people who lived in America acted their own initiative against problem of segregation.

I knew him when I was a junior high school student, but I was not interested in his achievement. However, recently I often think about his action because there was a lecture about him. “No violence” and “No submission” were theme of his campaign. I thought that it was a too high ideal but he had him way, not only himself but also many black people. So I have the utmost respect for King.
