I would not have any black friends if this had never happened. And I don't know why some one would kill him either if they thought over thier skin or they didnt agree with him.
ReplyDeleteI learned from this that Martain Luther King JR. Was killed by an assasian while he was traveling to Memphis, TN. I also learned that he never lived to see his dream come true! I never knew that!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy life would be different because I would not be in school with any black people. I would have also not met some of my friends! My school would only be white people, because black and white people would have had to go to different schools if it was not for Martain Luther King JR!!

I learned that MLK had 2 boys and 2 girls. Also I learned that he was born In Alanta GA. Last I learned that MLK moved to Bosten MA.
ReplyDeleteI could not have some my firends that I have now, like Lucy. Also I would feel sad for those people that have to use the things that are in bad condition. Last they can not use or do the same thing we do like a water fountain.
I learned that Martin Luther King Jr. was born in Atlanta, Georgia. I also learned that he was born in 1929, and died in 1968.
ReplyDeleteMy life would be different if he didn't say that speech because some of my friends are black and I care if my friends aren't treated as equal. Everyone is the same on the inside. Black, white, it doesn't matter as long as it's equal.
that last message was from claire
DeleteWhat I learned is that he was born I Atlanta and he moved to Boston. And he also had 4 kids. I also did not now that he got married. If he did not do what he did I would not know ali or maria or marlee.

ReplyDeleteKyra!
I learned that his real name is michael. One thing that would be differnt in my life would be that I would not be able to hang out with my friend, Hannah.
ReplyDeleteI learned that Martin Luther King Jr was born in Atlanta, Georgia on January 15, 1929.I also learned that his real name was Michael. How the world would be different without Martin Lurtin King Jr. It would be different how is because then I could not play with my friends. I would also not have the world`s best teacher. (A.K.A. Mrs Whitley) The aweomely awesome best teacher in the world.
ReplyDeletewell what i learned that martin gave a speech and now because of him everone would see people of how they are, not how they look.one thing that would be different in my life is i wouldnt be able to go the same places as afercan amercans.
ReplyDeleteI learned that MLK jr. held his most outstanding speech in Washington, DC were over 250,000 people, whites and blacks gathered to hear him speak. I think that this would effect my life today because alot of people that are my friends are black and I would not be able to see them as much. Also it makes everyones lives easier.
ReplyDeleteWhat I learned from the Mather Luther king JR. video is that Mather Luther King JR. was a patriot from acts of skin color.He lived from 1929-1968. He also made many announcements,but the most popular one,was the "I have a dream" announcement. And even after his assassination, Mather Luther King JR. was a very famous guy!!
ReplyDeleteAnd if Mather Luther Jr. hadn't made the "I had a dream" announcement, my life would have been effected by people not being treated the same way :(!!
Deleteali this is how u do a face...
Delete:(, :), :D, and ;)
Martin spent most of his life in gorgia.
ReplyDeleteIf he dident do his speech,
we would have seprete water fountains.
I would not have a friend with the color skin black and I learned that Martin king jr ended most of the racial problems and not slavery:)
ReplyDeletewhat i learned that dr martan luther king jr name was different before he went to germeny. my life would be different becuase most of my friends have black skin
ReplyDeletewhat i learned from the MLK jr. and other blacks had 2 sit i the back of the buses or give up there set 4 a white person. also he was born in Atlanta Georgia Jan. 15,1929. And my life would be like "totally" different 'cause i would not get 2 be with my friends that much, or at all!! "that would be like:"
ReplyDeleteGASP!!!!
marton was ignored as a child becuase of his skin and if he didnt do his speach we would all be sepret from eachother and drinking out of different water fontains
ReplyDeleteI learned that Martin was happily marriede with 4 children.If marten hadnt given his speech my life would be different because i would not be friends with some of the frrineds i have today. it would also be different because I wouldn't be doing this homework right now.
ReplyDeletewhat i learned was that Martin Luther King jr was born in Atlanta,Geogia on Januray 15,1929 and moved to Boston when he was older and had 4 children 2 boys and 2 girls. My life would be diffrent because i would not be going to school with black kids and i would have had to go to diffrent restraunts,movie theaters,and i would have to use diffrent bathrooms than black children and women.
ReplyDeleteI love this homework, it is really fun to blog!
ReplyDeleteMartin Luther King Jr. was treated badly because of his skin. All the white kids didn't play or hang out with him because of skin. Martin and all the other black people had to go to different schools then the white people, drink out of different water fountains then the white people, and sat in different places on the bus away from the white people. This was unfair because black people were judged by their skin. I also learned that Martin Luther King Jr. got married and had 4 kids 2 boys and 4 girls. I also learned he grew up in Atlanta Georgia. Martin Luther King Jr. stopped this races things. But he died by a assassin in 1996. If he didn't stop these races things we wouldn't have black friends, and we wouldn't go to the same school as them :)
ReplyDeleteI also didn't know he went to college.
ReplyDeleteWhat I learned is that martin Luther king jr. Had a wife and 4 kids. My life would be different because we would have white schools and Black schools and different bathrooms and lots of things like that. And I would not have some of my good friends.
ReplyDeleteWhat i learned is that MLK jr. was killed by an assassin. I didnt know that he was actually killed. I thought that he died peacefully.
ReplyDeleteHow my life would be different if MLK jr. wouldnt have made that speech, is I wouldnt be able to hang out with one of my good friends. I would have NEVER new her if it wasnt for MLK jr.! I would not be as free, i would feel like a girl trapped in a hole, i would feel un-free! Thank God for Martin Luther King jr!! Love, your bff,
Sophie
That last on was from me.
DeleteIf MLK jr. did not have started any of the protests or given his speach, my life would be totally diffrent. I would not have any colored friends. I would be at a diffrent school, I would not be able to drink out of the same waterfountain. I might have slaves. I also think he was very brave for what he did, he stood up for his beliefs knowing he could be killed. He was VERY BRAVE I probably would not have done that unless I was as brave as him. even though he was killed he was killed with happiness in his heart and knowing he changed other peoples hearts and lives also. He was a great man.

ReplyDeleteYou guys gave great responses! I'm really proud of you! Please know that Martin Luther King, Jr. did not end slavery though. Slavery ended with the Civil War in the late 1800's, decades before Dr. King was born.
