         Martin Luther King Jr. is a legendary figure in American History. He was extremely influential to the people in America, and convinced many people to accept African Americans in order to make the United States the best nation it could be. Martin Luther King Jr. projected his loyalty to recieving equality by risking his life and speaking out to the nation. He and many other protestors fought for equality, and even when they were denied, they never gave up. King and the other protestors marched and protested from day one until they finally recieved their equality and American citizenship. Laws were made to prohibit segregation, and many whites gave up their racial views after the campaigns by Martin Luther King Jr. and other protestors. Martin Luther King is a legendary figure from U.S History because he never stopped fighting for what he believed in, and he greatly impacted Americans' views on equality. if Martin Luther King had not protested and given famous speeches, America may still be segregated today, and that would be very unfavorable because there would be violence, and tension between American citizens.
