American Hero Example

I'm sure that you have seen this before and it is probably one of the most famous heroic acts throughout history. In this clip Martin Luther King Jr. is giving his "I Have a Dream" speech. This is a clear act of heroism for a few reasons. The main idea is that he too is standing up for what he believes in even if he is treated very poorly. Him taking action and letting others know what it is like to be treated unequally led to a huge change, making him a hero. The significance of this quote is that MLK is stating his opinion and trying to give people an idea of what he wants things to be like. I learned that even if something is tough, like trying to end racism, you should still try your best no matter what.
