From the blacks not having the right to vote to the blacks becoming presidents

Let me talk about some personal feelings other than movies:

1. Martin is really an excellent speaker. His speech is very inspiring. He is born a speaker and activist! Students who are determined to improve their speech skills must refer to Martin. Although Martin is not a perfect person, and Noshi is always called out to say, but I still think he is great. Because as a civil rights activist, he himself took huge risks, but he had the courage, did not fear power, and persevered. It's easy to point and point to a person, but to do his job, I dare say that not many people are like this.

2. The Civil War broke the custom of the slave trade, and Martin's civil rights movement truly free the black. From being a black man as a pig and dog (see "Twelve Years as a Slave"), it is really remarkable that the black man can be president now. Yes, modern America still discriminates against blacks (not only blacks, but also other races of skin color), but it is not easy for a country to make such a leap forward! See if other countries can let people of color be presidents? What moved me was that the black people chose non-violent ways, as Gandhi advocated (see "The Biography of Gandhi"). It seemed very weak, but in the end it was non-violent that defeated evil. This reminds me of Lentz's novella "Lightship", why the captain insists on non-violent confrontation with crime.

3. Parade. How much preparation and power contests are behind the parade, and how much blood pave the way. The parade can gather the power of people and influence more people. From Gandhi to Martin, they are aware of this power. This may be why I tried my best to suppress people from being crowded. Although different countries are incomparable, but in my heart, I feel sad for those who died in the incident. People have worked hard, but they still cannot shake the great wheel of democracy and freedom.
