Martin Luther King was a political activist at a time when African Americans were treated as second class citizens. I believe that his vision was to liberate African American people like himself from Prejudice. He wanted to see an American society that treated all people fairly and judged people by their personality.
He succeeded where others had failed. He made the United States of America a more fair place. I think the reason he succeeded was because he used a passive approach. He would organise mass boycotts instead of riots.
Black people weren't allowed to sit at the front of the bus and had to give up their seat for a white man if the bus was full. Matin organized a mass boycott. They said we will have the same rights on the bus as the white people or we won't use the bus at all. So... Many thousands of black people stopped using the bus and the bus companies faced huge losses. They found another way to get to their jobs such as walking or cycling. I learned from that and adapted it to my life. If I am not treated with respect then I will avoid the place all together and they loose out more than me. If a company cheats me then I won't come back to that company to buy any things.
