Struggle for Paradise.

I have learned through this quarter of equity and equality that anything can and will be achieved if you strive hard enough for it. For the past 200 years this whole country has been alive and permitted through the constitution. That constitution itself is the symbol of success. All of us, in one way or another, use that constitution every single day. It wasn't like that 70 or 80 years ago and that we have the people who struggled to get us here to thank. There are 4 major people that have instilled and influenced that value of equality to us.
Martin Luther King Jr. led the U.S. with the biggest struggle of non-violence the United States has ever seen. He lead his fellow Afro-Americans when the Caucasians of America were throwing punches and hurling out insults. We saw that in Project C and how they were following in MLK's footsteps by just walking towards the people who didn't want them there holding hands and singing "We Shall Overcome". We saw that in the March on Washington when hundreds of thousands of people walked to their destiny as equally treated Americans.
