Dr Martin Luther King Jr

the year 1929, a timeline

of segregation
a King in creation

a father, not just an activist
a martyr, a baptist

in the footsteps of Martin Sr.
a long tenure of pastors

a master speaker, a preacher
as well
he was nothing frail

a show and tell leader
we still use heaters

against all he stood for

violence is more than ever
why do we remain severed?

a stream of tears of what he
endured for years

a member an the executive
committe, NAACP
his neck on the line for you and me

his first demonstration of contemporary
times in this nation
a beautiful organization

the bus boycott described by Gunnar Jahn
in his speech presentation

a true Saint
Negro leader in the first rank

over 6 million miles in travel
2500 hundred speeches unraveled

Birmingham jail nonesense
the coalition of conscience

than at the age of 35
the earning of the nobel peace prize

"I Have A Dream"
the greatest speech alive
