He had a very great dream a long while back and amazingly it came true. It wasn’t easy but these are the words of Martin Luther King…
“I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood.”
Martin Luther King was a man who changed the world for the better. He believed that what color you were on the inside did not matter. it is what you are and who you are as a person on the inside that counts. He tried to make many people believe that. At first it didn’t work but finally his dreams came true.
Many people wonder why we have no school on Martin Luther King Day. I think that we have the day of to celebrate his hard work and the freedom he gave us. I think that schools around the country honor this because it did affect everyone. he showed us that everyone is unique on the inside not on the outside. He taught us that everyone is the same on the outside. So what if someone’s skin is darker than that of someone sitting next to you . If you go across the country you no longer see an only whites sign or an only blacks sign. That is a big thing he changed in the world today. I think that the whole point of having no school is to show and respect the freedom he gave to colored people and show that he changed the world for the better. I think that if we would have school on Martin Luther King Day then it would really be honored much and it doesn’t really show the peace he gave us and show the problems he solved. He changed people’s lives.
This video shows how everything changed. The video was my primary source.

I really did not know what was the difference between a Democrat and Republican. Now, I know. A person that is a democrat has the idea of having the government help out around here and pay for many things. The would rather have the government help with health care and have the government lay down laws on certain problems. Democrats are more as a union with the whole country. The government does a lot. On the republican side though, they would rather have things work out on their own. The states have more of an opinion on what they do. Businesses have the choice of who they want to hire and how things work. Rather than the government putting down laws to stop pollution like democrats, the republicans would have the business work the problem out themselves.
When I am older and I can register to vote I think that the party I would want to vote for is the democratic party. I think that the government should help us out more. If we were all republicans the businesses around would not stop and try to solve the pollution. I really think that the government needs to lay down laws and pay attention to the problems going on in the world. Many problems are happening in the world today and the government is not doing much. We have to pay attention. The problems need to be solved and sometimes the only way to do that is to lay down the laws. I would be on the democratic side because I know that I need rules and that is what keeps me on track and do what I am suppose to do. When the country is more on their own with a lot of there own decisions things could fall apart. What about health care. The government should provide health care to everyone. The republicans thing that people should work and earn there health care. What if the sick person does not have health care and then can’t get medication. What if her sickness spreads. I need rules to stay organized and if I need rules many others do too. The united states, the fifty states, need rules to be civil.
