 Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr. was a big part of history. His I have a dream speech changed the world forever.

When Martin was little he used to love playing with his white friend. But one day his white friend invited Martin to his house but when they got there his mom said, “No...you can’t bring that black boy into our house!” “The family was quickly schooled on the harsh reality of the racial segregation of the south.” said an article from drmartinlutherking.net 


Martin really wanted to make people aware of what was happening to black people, and to end racial discrimination, and segregation. “He promoted nonviolent tactics to achieve civil rights and led a number of peaceful protests, such as the famous March on Washington in 1963.” As the article, Martin Luther King Jr.’s achievements.


Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy has helped us in the present, to fight for equality, and abolish racism. “The time is always right to do what’s right.” “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Quotes from Martin Luther King Jr.


In my opinion, Martin Luther King Jr. should really be recognized more often...I know we have a holiday about him and all that, but we should really talk more about him, and learn what he did to end such a bad time in history.

      MLK's friend's mom was being mean because Martin was black and his friend was white. That is why his mom was really mean.

  Gerbils            Gerbils aren’t well known but thats just because they aren’t as common as the hamster, or guinea pig.

For example their favorite things are sunflower seeds and timothy hay, but they can also eat carrots, cucumber, pumpkin, melon, apple, pear, oranges, and other fruit and veggies. Just make sure you look up if gerbils can eat a certain food before you feed it to them. Things such as grapes, and rhubarb are poisonous to gerbils.

They are burrowing rodents so they prefer the ...

The first reason why you shouldn’t smoke is that it can cause lung cancer. Lung cancer is the number one cause of cancer deaths worldwide. As the Mayo Clinic Staff says,”People who smoke have the greatest risk of lung cancer, though lung cancer can also occur in people that have never smoked.” Even if you don’t smoke your risk of lung cancer can increase if you’re exposed to secondhand smoke. Second hand smoke means that if you’re around someone who is smoking you’re still breathing in the smoke, but you're not getting as much as the person who is smoking.
