Color

Creamy, white, black, brown, there are many different colors of the skin.
What color is your skin?
We are all human beings, we are all people with feelings.
In 1955, a lady with brown skin named Rosa Parks changed every ones lives. She didn't not give her seat to a white man in the front of the bus.
She was tired of having to sit in the back of the bus just because her skin color was not white!
Rosa Parks got arrested.
No one should be arrested for their skin color or where they sit on the bus.
All people should have the same rights.
I respect what she did.

"You must do the things you think you can not do."
That was a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt.
What would do if no one had respect for other people?
Would you step up and do something?
Do you know who did step up and help?
A man named Martin Luther King, Jr.
With his strong faith in God, Martin Luther King Jr. stepped up and helped the American people to have equal rights.
Later Martin Luther King Jr. was shot and killed.
I respect him and I say thank you to all who tried, especially God, Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King,Jr.
