Because of him I am here,
And living in a new year.
For you see, my father is black
and my mother is white.
MLK is the one who helped
to make this "all right".
I am living proof that he died
not in vain,
But that he gave so that others
could gain.
For this I am grateful and DREAM
that
others will learn not to be
so hateful. |

A Great Role Model

Dr. King was a wonderful man.
There are so many people
who honor him
and love him.
He's a great role model.
He fought for a dream
and achieved it.
Many people aren't like
Dr. King
Although every single one of
us should be.

Poem

Me
only me
I think of
my life in this world
And then I think, "Is this equal?"
Everyone should be equal.

M.L.K. Jr.
by Lindsay
Martin Luther King was a strong
man.
He wanted freedom and justice.
But most of all peace.
He walked with many people.
His speech was famous and helped
with his mission for all to
be friends.
But in 1968 he was shot.
There will always be a part
of him in history, justice, and memories
everywhere.
Martin Luther King
by Holly
Martin Luther helped all.
He was great and strong.
He fought for Civil Rights.
His dream is exquisite.
He died long ago but he's still
remembered and loved today.
I'm sure he'd love to see everyone
now.
Everybody being friends, but
he can't
so we say so long.
"MARTIN"
by Loren
M artin Luther King Jr.
A ll rights are equal!
R emember him to this day and
honor him.
T though he's gone his dream

I have a dream!
N othing could stand in his
way.
MLK
by Brandon
Martin Luther King you were
right
about hate.
"Hate cannot drive out hate.
Only love can do that."
In the end he was shot.
He was a good man.
A Dream
by Rachel
"I have a dream. . ."
said Martin Luther King Jr.
"That all men and women have
equal parts!"
He fought and fought.
Then he got shot.
He sees us today having peace
in U.S.A.
Martin Luther King Jr.
by Sarah
Martin Luther was a very kind
man.
And he made a very important
speech.
Remembering him is important
to us.
Thank you for our freedom
Martin Luther King.
"I have a dream"
Was Martin's speech.
Now he's dead in Tennessee.
He died in 1968.
Knowing he's dead we're very
sad.
I don't think he knew he'd be
famous.
Now he's a very, very famous
for his speech.
Generally he would like what
we are doing.
The Great Speech.
by Jennifer
Martin Luther King Jr.,
gave a great speech.
A speech to end segregation,
to put white and black people
together.
Forever.
Finally after many years,
lawmakers voted to end segregation.
Even though he was shot,
his dreams and speeches,
will stay with us
Forever.

Martin Luther King
Is good
Is nobel
Has hundreds of awards
And is colored
Who does this remind you of
Who is white
Think about it

King was a famous name.
He believed in freedom
For each and everyone the same.
He made speeches
He made it to fame.
He won many awards.
He was a leader in the game.
Freedom is now for everyone.
His dream finally came!!!

Martin Luther King was a good
man
Martin Luther King was like
a centipede
He had a lot of hands to help
him
Martin Luther King wanted Blacks
and Whites to be equal
He was always going round and
round
Everyone loved him in the town
Martin was very generous and
caring
He believed in always sharing
and doing what was right

Ring Loud
The Voice of Martin King
by Shauna R.
age 15, 10th grade

Hurry, Hurry come and see
Martin Luther King
upon Lincoln Memorial
you can hear his clear voice
ring
"I have dream!" the man declares
"Of Freedom and Equality for
all
whom God cares"
He demands justice
He protests for a seamstress.
He's been tossed into the street
from a white man's local suite.
He shouts "All man should be
as kin!
It shouldn't matter their color
of skin!"
Clear and true, Hear his voice
ring
The words of Martin Luther King.
Poet from
