As part of our English today in 11A we have been looking at and talking about the importance of Martin Luther King Day, we watched some clips and then had a discussion about how we were all feeling.

Some of us said that it made us angry, upset about segregation and we all agreed that Martin Luther King was a voice for black freedom- and that it is right that he is celebrated the whole world over.

Some of the comments from our class include-

“ I feel that Martin Luther King was very brave, in a time when black people were treated badly”

” I hadn’t realised that Martin Luther Kings speech was such an important event”

”I found out that all of Martin Luther Kings protests were peaceful even though there were lots of people all together”
