first KEY POINT

Deciding the projectile of peaceful coexistence

Martin Luther King Jr.’s life will go down in history as legendary. He was by no means a perfect man. Still, he confidently contributed to the beginning of peaceful cohabitation among various races in the US. Ultimately, he paid the price by losing his life. But, before his death, he wrote a series of educational treatises and volumes — all concerning the emancipation of the Black American from pseudo-servitude. He could have immortalized the captivating moments of his heroic contribution to the justice-driven movements, but he focused on delivering his vision of achieving total freedom for Black and all poor Americans instead.King tried to make two resounding points to the power-wielding minority of America. One, the peace and progress of the United States depended on the coalition of Black and white people. But first, white people must acknowledge the necessity of investing resources, humaneness, and opportunity to lift Black people to the height of their potential. Two, white people must own their faults in driving Black Americans to adopt desperate means when aiming to achieve a respectable self-identity.

Here, we have a leader who continually observes the degenerative tendencies of white supremacist mass gatherings, marches, and rallies. And he did his best to quell the outward manifestation of the legitimate bitterness of Black Americans. With the Black Power movement, King rechanneled the angry energy resulting from centuries of maltreatment and showed the masses a better way to stand up for themselves.Follow us and dive into King's final work before his tragic assassination.
