Martin Luther King Jr was a proud man who once helped all of the black and white people get along in harmony. 50 years ago he said an amazing speech that inspired many people. People still go to the same place that he said his speech. Infact just last week people gathered around in harmony.

Martin Luther King Jr was born in 1929 in the Southern US state of Gorgia and he died April 4 1968 by being shot by a sniper bullet. He was on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis.
