African Americans

      Hello my friends, I am Back!!!!!

     Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and Mr. A Lincoln.These are some of  the many people that helped black people to who they are today. 

Martin LutherKing Jr. wanted nothing but peace. He fought not with his fists but with his words for black people. When they kept white people and black people apart it was called segregation.Martin had a sister her name was Willie Christine.His parents never argued. Martin's family were sharecroppers. Martin's best friend was a white person when they started school his father told him they could no longer see each other. Martin became a minister just like his father. On June 18th 1953 Coretta  and Martin were married.On February 18th 1861 Jefferson Davis was sworn as the president of the confederate states of  America.In April 1865 the north won the civil war and now I know those days Martin's dream should have been granted long before it was. Now thanks to Martin Luther King Jr. and others like him there are black people in my school that are my friends. 

       Rosa Parks also helped black people once when the bus driver told her to give up her seat to a white person.Then when Rosa Parks refused they arrested her. Though she has inspired many people to stand up to what they believe in.




      Abraham Lincoln freed slaves, and I think that he led black people to freedom.That's one of the reasons that he is my favorite person in History.














     
     Without the people that had help African Americans slavery would still exist today and we all wouldn't be consider equal. Back then all the black people should be treated as equals just like everybody else. That's why I think people should stand for what they believe and always fight for their dreams, one day they will come true.
