Martin Luther King influenced the black movement in America and made outstanding contributions to the equality of black people. Martin Luther King's outstanding speech talent makes him have extraordinary personal charm and the ability to organize and mobilize social resources.

He can not only inspire black people to fight, but also win the support of white people. Looking at his various speeches, we can find that each one is actually a comprehensive application of rhetorical abilities of various languages.

Among them, the Montgomery protest movement led by Martin Luther King was the first protest struggle of black people in the southern United States with non-violent direct action, which broke through the traditional struggle mode of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which was limited to court battles. It promoted the role of black priests as leaders of the civil rights movement to a new height and aroused the self-esteem and self-confidence of southern blacks.

Character experience

In the process of fighting for equal rights, Martin Luther King experienced death threats, bomb threats, repeated arrests, repeated imprisonment and even constant intimidation. He would not be confused by the unfavorable environment.

Martin Luther King put the printed but revised notes on the podium. He quoted the Declaration of Independence, the Emancipation Declaration and the Constitution of the United States, and began a clever and passionate speech.

Then something that was not designed in advance appeared. After a short pause, mahalia jackson, the gospel singer who performed earlier in the day, shouted to Kim, "Martin, tell me your dream." Kim pushed the note aside and stood tall in front of the audience.

King listened to his inner voice, broke away from official remarks and began to publicize his vision and dreams, which gradually became the spiritual legacy that changed the civil rights movement forever.
