"i have a dream... that one day, a little black boy, and a little white girl will join hands and play together..."
something like that! pretty much a huge supporter of civil rights, end of segregation, etc etc. well known for his preaching of love and equality
and then he was assasinated for his speaking out on racism and hatred. what a way to turn him into a martyr....

He was the leader of the Civil Rights Movement in the '60s. He also gave a speech called, " I Have a Dream." His speech mainly gave the idea that all people are created equal, even if they are of different gender, color or race.
