We Didn T Start The Fire By Martin Luther King

“Pope Paul, Malcolm X, British politician sex, JFK, blown away, what else do I have to say? We didn’t start the fire, it was always burning since the world’s been turning,” was written by a profound songwriter and singer, Billy Joel in his song, “We Didn’t Start the Fire.” Shaking my head, I called up to my father, as I was sitting in a car seat. I specifically asked him who those people and places were. The response I got was “Son, this world is one of violence, terror, and scary things, and it will always exist just as Billy says.” As I may have been satisfied by that answer at age 7, I got older, and I started to become increasingly more interested in Political Science. Now at 19 years old, I examine the mathematics behind the Civil Rights

In this case, my formula only works because of the parentheses surrounding the first three parts of the equation. From my perspective, Martin Luther King Jr. became a symbol of a general group of African American Civil Rights Activists, before they found him as an actual leader. While others may figure that there is more than one specific leader that had an impact on the Civil Rights Movement, I really cannot deny that way of thinking, rather I can only say that it is of my belief that he was the most important of all in this process. Others may also present the counter argument that there may have been more than one leader and that all of them were equally important in the process of this. I cannot deny that opinion either, as it is valid. I can present my opinion and only my opinion here, which presents that Martin Luther King Jr. deserves to be the leader of all leaders. Possibly, the best example of his leadership came on a day in August, at “The March of Washington,” when he presented a speech of dynamic poetry. My favorite lines from this “I Have a Dream Speech” go, “I have a dream that one day in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.” (King Jr. 5) After this line, the audio recording presents the roar of the crowd. In my opinion, it was not just the words of this speech and this specific quote that made him a leader. I perceive that words are just words, as they need substance, this substance is created with a charismatic attitude. Martin Luther King Jr. had this, and it is possibly the biggest indicator that he was a leader of his group. It is possible that there were other
