Martin Luther King Jr. is an inspiration to people today. He showed to everyone in the world that no matter the opposition, good will always win. You can be put down time after time, but no matter what, if you keep fighting good will always win.

MLK tried committing suicide at the age of 12. In May, 1941 his grandmother passed away with a heart attack. During this time, he completely disregarded his parents’ orders to stay home. MLK went to a parade that day. When the parade finished, he came home to find his grandmother had passed away when he wasn’t there to see her for the last time. Martin went upstairs to the second story, and jumped from the window.
