Memorable person

I think that Martin Luther king,Jr. is my role model.
I had a dream and vision after I heard his speech.
His speech, " I have a dream." has been very famous and unforgettable.
He was born in 1929. He was an African American clergyman.
He was a Baptist minister that had four children.
For human rights, he started the civil rights movement.
He was a prominent leader that insisted on fighting against racial segregation and racial discrimination.
So he was given the Novel peace Prize in 1964.
His argument was non-violent because he had a religious perspective.
Gandhi also had non-violent activism.
Both of them wanted peace and freedom. Furthermore, they had the same thoughts and dreams.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was established as a U.S. national holiday in 1986.
