By this paper, I truly want to say thanks to you, Dr. Martin Luther King. I watched this movie “Selma”, so I learned that Selma is the place where you started your long-term march asking for Africa American’s civil rights. It could be regarded as a symbol of you and your spirit.
Yes, the movement is so hard to move on. I saw many of your fellows were beaten by white polices. In your era, the society is still lacking of justice and equity between different races, you and your Africa American fellows were segregated by white people, and your vote right was taken away. You organized this movement, leading people to the government office. Although the polices rode big horses, grabbed weapons, you and your fellows were never afraid of the violence. What’s more, you even raised your non-violence advocacy. I could see your pains and fears when polices waved their spontoons, and I also believe people who saw this news on TV at that time, and people who are watching this movie at present could realize how silly the polices are, and they know it is you who stand on the justice side and justice will finally win in the society.
I’ve learned that you were assassinated on April 4 in Memphis, scarifying your life to civil right movement, rest in peace. I strong believe that although you left us in a young age, your dream of equity will last in the whole world for a long time. I also listened your speech “I have a dream”. I can tell life is pretty tough in your time, but you tried your best to inspire more people taking actions in 1960th.
What is so lucky to our generation is that we could live a relative better life in 21th century. The society is always make progress because of there are people like you and people who were inspired by you. They never say ok to inequity, instead, they did their best to fight with the strong power from which the inequity come. Although life in my era is much better than old times, there is still inequity everywhere. For example, poor people bear more stress of environment pollution and their health were terribly ruined. The world is not perfect. But I do believe people would not stop struggling for a better future, just like you did in 1960th.
Here I truly want to say thanks to you, and thank you for the strength you bring to me, that I could be brave enough to persist my dream of protecting natural resource and environment for our next generation.
