Would you take a stand for against an injustice you witness? Many would probably hope they would take a stand against an injustice. The person I most admire for taking a stand is Martin Luther King Jr.
King took a stand for the civil rights of his people the African Americans. You see they were not allowed many of the priveledges of the white folks. He stood up for their rights to be able to use the same facilities as the white people did. He also stood up for the rights of the African Americans to be able to ride in the front of the bus.
King led marches and aided in boycotts. He got arrested for his cause. He wanted to give his people the assurance that they would have the same freedoms as the white folks did. He took a stand against the segregation of his people from the white folks. He gave speeches that were attempts to get his point across. He helped lead a bus boycott in which the African Americans, as well as some of the whites, refused to use the buses.
In conclusion, I believe King’s stand put some head way as far as civil rights go. King is the person I most admire for taking a stand. He was willing to do what it took for his cause. How many can say that?
everybody seems to think that Martin Luther King is the most takin-a-stadingest guy ever, because this is the third blog I've seen about him!
