MAN WITH A DREAM
(Adapted from Speakeasy)
Martin Luther King Jr. wanted black and white Americans to live
happily together. On the third Monday in January, many Americans honour
this hero.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a black pastor. He was born in Atlanta,
Georgia, on January 15, 1929. He was the leader of the Civil Rights Movement
demanding equality for black people. Many Southern states in the USA, like
Georgia, were segregated in the 1950’s: black children couldn’t go to the same
schools as whites, Blacks and Whites couldn’t seat in the same bus, theatres
or use the same public toilets. King believed that was wrong.
Guide Questions:
1. Who was Martin Luther King?
2. What does the word “segregation” means? Give examples.
3. What is Rosa Parks famous for?
4. When do Americans celebrate Martin Luther King Day? Why are they doing
this?
5. Why did he receive a Nobel Peace Prize?
6. Describe the picture and say what it represents.
