“A Walk to Remember”

time of Selma
The movie we were assigned to watch is about
a very important figure in U.S. History. Martin Luther King Jr. is the person I
am talking about. In this film, it shows his everyday life and his fights with
the civil rights movement. I am usually not a bug fan when it comes to
historical movies, but I found this one incredibly interesting. This movie had
thought me many things also. I guess I didn’t understand how bad the African race
was actually being treated. Selma put it in perspective and showed how awful it
really was. I also learned about the walk to Selma. The first attempt to walk
to Selma the police had told them to turn around and go home. The police were
brutal to the race just because they wanted to stick up and support their rights.
It made me think of how grateful and lucky I am that I didn’t have to grow up
and experience all this. It just blows my mind that one person can stand out
and stick up for something they believe in. Another thing I would like to point
out is how calmly he had handled all the hate and threats. I think it really
helped that he was a preacher. I feel like it made him a lot more level headed
than other people upset with this issue, since they used and talked about God
too. Since MLK Jr. did that he changed the world for his race, he should be
considered a legend in the world.
