Remembering Martin Luther King Jr.

     I read an article about Martin Luther King Jr. and it said that people had paused to remember a moment of one of there civil rights leaders. In 1950, he was one of the most respected people from the civil rights leaders. He inspired the world and helped bring laws that were fair and equally for all of the Americans.

     All across the world people will remember Dr.King's efforts and honor his legacy. Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New york will observe the 11 Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service. In Oklahoma, California there will be a lot of great things happening like celebrations and dancing.

     On March 7, 1965 hundreds of civil rights supporters led by Martin did a 54-mile walk from Selma to Montgomery,Alabama. They were protesting for laws that prevented African Americans from voting in Alabama. The supporters were stopped and attacked by police shortly after starting. On March 25,30,000 protesters from all over the country tried again and they completed the march. There efforts helped pass the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

I think that Martin had an interesting life because he was a nice man and he wanted all the black, white, and Mexicans to all get along. I heard this on CNN and I saw this in the time for kids. So I do think that he had an interesting life.

                        Do you think that Martin Luther King Jr. had an interesting life?

    The day I was coming from Mexico I was really sad because I did not want to leave I wanted to stay over there. I said good bye to everyone that I knew that was in Mexico. I said good bye to my friends and to my family. I was really sad. Everyone that was right there with my family and me were really sad. I wanted to stay at Mexico and I hope that we go back soon.

My trip to Mexico

On December 16 I went to Mexico to be with my family on Christmas and New Years Eve. For Christmas we went over to my grandma and grandpa's house. All of my family was at their house. We had a great time it was so much fun. We got a lot of presents At Mexico I got money and I got a lot of clothes but I left most of my clothes that I got for Christmas at Mexico.

     On New Years Eve we had an even better time than we did on Christmas. Well I had a good time but I do not know about my family but me and all of my cusions had a really great time because we went to my house and we went to buy fireworks.Even some of my friends went to my house and we all had fire works and we threw the fire works up and they looked really nice. We also got some things that you can throw up to the sky or just throw them on the ground and they would make a loud sound and they would pop. So we had a great time on New Years Eve to.

     The reason I did not come to web logs was because I took the trip to Mexico. In Mexico we almost lasted a month over there. The difference between Mexico and here is that people talk spanish over there and here we talk english and spanish.
