Martin Luther King day is day we should take to remember all the struggles that King went though to make our country better.  He made African American’s lives better and more equal.  Its a day to remember his protesting and speeches like the “I had a dream” speach.  He ruined his life by going into prison getting beaten and he stood strong throughout the whole time.  He should be known as a role model and a friend to everyone.  If he didnt come through we could be in a big war and many people could have died or someone else could have come along and done a better job.  MLK day should be taken off to let us remeber him.
