This paper is a brief biography of Martin Luther King Jr. , his history and some of the major events in his life. It also explores his idea of success.

From the Paper:

"Martin Luther King Jr. was a very intelligent and ambitious man and an outstanding public speaker. Today, black citizens have the basic Constitutional rights that used to be exclusive to whites, thanks to King. Martin Luther King Jr.'s main goal that drove him in all his actions was to achieve racial equality between whites and blacks. Although equality was his goal, Martin Luther King, Jr. would not say that he was "successful". He would call all the positive actions that occurred during his life, that were spearheaded by him, as "progress". "Success", to King, was nothing short of total race equality."
