Martin Luther King Jr (Research someone who has fought for peace or equality)

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character."

These were the words spoken by Martin Luther King Jr on the 28th August 1963 that would change the world for the better.

 Martin Luther King Jr was an African American who fought for equal rights for all Americans in the late 50's and 60's. He believed that people shouldn't be judged by the colour of their skin but by their character, he led non-violent protests and spoke out against segregation and discrimination on the basis of race and beliefs. He gained the support of thousands of people worldwide, both black and white. In 1964 he became the youngest person to recieve the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end racial segregation and discrimination.

While trying to share what he believed in he risked his life, his house was bombed, he had numerous death threats and he was arrested many times before finally, he was assasinated outside his motel room in Memphis on April 4th 1968 by James Earl Ray.

Imagine if Martin Luther King Jr, hadn't spoken out and nothing changed. Because of him, America has its first African American President, Barack Obama. I think it is fair to say that Martin would have been proud.

Novel Review (:

I'm currently reading a book called, "Forgotten" by Cat Patrick. This book was recomended to me by most my good friends who have read it, they all said it was addictive, intriguing and leaves you in suspense until you read the next chapter.

It is about a sixteen year old girl called London Lane. She lives with her mum, has a best friend called Jamie and has no idea who her dad is. London seems like your average girl but every morning at 4:33am her memory is erased. She can see flashes of her future, but her past is blank. In order to remember the important events from the day before, she writes notes before she goes to bed to build a portfolio of her life. When she meets a new boy called Luke, she sees him as an amazing guy every girl could ever wish for, but she can't see him in her future. Everyday London has to meet him as if it's for the first time. Luke should be a part of her future, but she never sees him in it. This leads you to believe he won't be.

Even though I have not finished reading this book, I am really enjoying it. I like the way the author makes London, piece her life together like a puzzle. It makes the reader want to read more, never quiet knowing for sure what's going to happen next. So far I give this book a 10/10 because its not your usual soppy teen love story. I would recomened this book for teenage girls who enjoy intense stories which leave you in suspense with a hint of romance.
