Black History Post

In this post will be about two black people, Martin Luther King Jr.and Jackie Robinson. Here it is, Martin Luther King Jr.:

Martin Luther was born in Atlanta, Georgia. King was a public speaker for non-violence, he wanted all races to agree in being equal. He tried making speeches about racism and equality, and he also led a march in Washington D.C. with 200,000 black people for equality. There he made his very strong speech, his "I had a dream"... speech.
Now he was also a pastor and once he made sermon with his father. He married Coretta Scott and also had 4 children: Yolanda, Martin Luther III, Dexter, and Bernice. But sadly he died on April 4th,1968, by James Earl Ray by shooting King to death while King was on the balcony of a Memphis motel. But people started to agree in equality, but King never got to see his progress.

Jackie Robinson:

Jackie Robinson was the first black to play major league baseball. At first only whites could play baseball until 1947 when Jackie was excepted to play for the Dodger and that year was the Rookie of Year and was with the Dodger six World Series. Now the other teams were excepting blacks to play for them from the example of the Brooklyn Dodgers. From his significant play and being a example for black people to play not only baseball, but all the other sports, he was excepted to be the first black to be in the Hall of Fame. He also was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Ronald Reagan. He was married to Rachel Isum and they had three children: Jackie Jr., Sharon, and David. But sadly he died from diabetes.

Not only do whites have achievements, but blacks do, too, and all the other races.
