A Man Named Martin Born in 1929,
Martin knew he wanted to change the line. The line that separated black and white,
it never did feel just right.
After receiving an education, he worked to end segregation.
Sit ins, protests, and Montgomery bus boycotts, were all battles that had to be fought.
While some called for violence,
Martin did not stay silent. Peace is the way,
he would always say.
A march in Washington D.C. he led, “I have a dream,” he said.
Martin believed his dream would come true, so he fought for me and for you.
Martin is no longer here, but please do not fear.
We can still honor Dr. King by working for peace and letting freedom ring.
