HUMAN RIGHTS

HEROES AND HEROINES 

BIOGRAPHY OF MARTIN LUTHER KING

We are a group of students in the school for adults EPA-HHI Arrasate. We are dealing with HUMAN RIGHTS in our English lessons. At the moment we are reading the biography of Martin Luther King Jr.
We'll try to bring some of the comments we make in class to this blog . So, let's start!

In this video we can listen to the famous speech of Martin Luther King Jr. "I have a dream"


And these are some versions of the song "We shall overcome" (Irabaziko dugu) that Martin Luther King Jr. and his followers used to sing while marching. Which one do you like most?

  1. "Growing in the South was not easy for Martin... in 1929, when black people were treated very differently than white people"
    In my opinion, black people suffered a lot at that time. This situation makes me feel sad.

  5. "Martin Luther King,Jr., spoke to president Kennedy,but the president did not take quick action to fix the situation"

    In my opinion, does not seem right that the president did not listen to Martin, as he was in the white house thanks to the black vote.
