Martin Luther King was a black minister, who became a great leader of the civil rights movement

in the 1950s and 1960s.

King was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. When he was young, he was strongly

influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi's idea of non-violent resistance. Having

received a Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy) from Boston University, he became a political and religious

leader of the non - violent civil relights movement in 1955. On August 28, 1963, he led over 250,000

Americans on a march in Washington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law to guarantee equality for all

people, and delivered his best known speech

is a dream of brotherly love and equality for the Black and White. Thus, he was awarded the Nobel Prize

for peace in 1964, but he was murdered four years later.

Though he died, he was greatly respected and loved by the Americans, both the white and the black.

By vote of Congress in 1968, the third Monday of every January is now a federal holiday in Luther King's

honor. He lives in people's hearts forever.

、

A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made

man - the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his

hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position

and

commands

greater

respect

in

the

community

than

the

common

laborer

or

even

the

skilled

factory

worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some

sort.

This attitude toward manual (

体力的

) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is

invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (

豪华地

) furnished and in

which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive

hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will

serve

it

herself

and

will

wash

dishes

afterward;

furthermore,

the

dinner

will

not

consist

merely

of

something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the

nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A

professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may

even

help

with

these

things,

just

as

he

often

helps

her

with

the

dishwashing.

The

son

who

is

away

at

college

may

wait

on

table

and

wash

dishes

for

his

living,

or

during

the

summer

he

may

work

with

a

construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.
