The Dream Has Meaning

Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the biggest leaders of the Civil Rights Movement.  I will never deny that he is one of the most influential leaders of this movement, but I refuse to say he was the only leader.  But, he is the most well known, and had vast amounts of influence during this time.    

Martin Luther King Jr. stood for so many things including peace and leadership.  He lead many peaceful protest and was against violence.  He also believed that there was so more we could do, so many possibilities we had when we worked as a whole.

His strongest weapon for peace was his voice. Martin Luther King moved so many people. If Martin Luther King Jr. and other leaders did not speak their mind, the fight for civil rights would probably not be as affective as it was. A leader's job is not to lead people, but to voice the groups opinion as a whole.  Martin Luther King Jr. and others did not share their thoughts, they would not have reached their goal of equal right.
