The Acts of One Man Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

In time when there was civil unrest The efforts of one man helped save an entire race The works of this man, I must confess Showed an American community oppressed How to fight without landing blows on the human face Killing the enemy with kindness, in the hope of racial progress From boycotts to marches, he had a dream of freedom, yes Freedom from discrimination because I don't have a white face He spoke in Washington to a nation of divided interest Not afraid of meeting an impasse He took the first steps of equality when there was no staircase By teaching non-violent reform to the masses He believed that no man is better than the rest For a nation to love each other without disgrace With equality flourishing from east to west King fell with the vision of America with racial egress No matter your background, you must embrace The achievements of one man during distress Now, in a time when there is love without disgrace All I can say to a man who fought civil unrest Is thank you for your diligence
