A lot of people did not like him and one person shot him in 1968. Unfortunately Martin Luther King Jr. died on April 4, 1968, but his son Martin Luther King the third is carrying on his dream.

Martin Luther King Jr. is remembered for trying to make peace in the world. He told people that all men and women should be treated equal.

 I admire my hero because he had the courage to stand up for his dream even when he had to go to jail. I liked his speech, too. I think that his dream should live on.
