What role do leaders play in shaping the way a community responds to a crisis and in preventing other crises?
Some very special leaders play a special role in shaping the way a community responds to a crises and in presenting other crises. One of those people was Martian Luther King Jr.. He gave his speeches to calm the world and to lower segregation. The mayor of Jasper, Mike Lout, was a great leader as well. He saw the fence at the cemetery and found that it was a fence to separate the white and the blacks. As soon he he found out about it he made it a mission to take it down. He is the one who was determined to stop as much segregation as he could. James Brown was also a leader for saving Boston on a very special night in 1968. He sang to keep the riots of the streets. He calmed down Boston. Without him, this crises could have been the worst incident since the Boston Tea Party.
