His Beliefs

Martin Luther King believed that when it was stated, All Men Are Created Equal, that it meant EVERYONE. His belief was also to be fair and non-discriminative. When he led the Bus Boycott, he took action. He hoped the Bus Boycott would change the way people looked at the world and change segregation on public buses. He wished the end of segregation would happen, and you know what? It did. The Bus Boycott changed segregation on the public buses and soon non-segregated water fountains, waiting rooms, and restrooms followed. His religious belief was Baptist. He was a man who believed in rights and kindness.

 

His Motives

His motives were to change segregation for both for black rights and education. His wishes were that the black race and the white race could live in peace together. He wanted to end all segregated waiting rooms, water fountains hotels, and schools. His belief was that violence was not the way to get what people wanted. He preached nonviolence in all of his boycotts and speeches.

His Accomplishments

His accomplishments were too numerable to name. Most of them are sentimental value to those who were personally in touch with him. His greatness and his determination have changed those who came after him. Some of his accomplishments include ending segregation on buses, ending hate between most blacks and whites, and permanently changing the way two races and many people look at the world. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a man of great accomplishments, and he has been one of the many positive things that have blessed this earth.
