The Solitary Maverick: Happy Martin Luther King JR. Day


Martin Luther King Jr. was a very forward-looking, iron-made, individual leader who strived until his last breath to shackle the captivities of social injustice. His influence started from the African American Civil Rights Movement when his ideas sputtered out historic outputs.

 

Martin Luther King was a voice of the oppressed and a person who showed a great level of empathy towards all civilians. Be it the banter against the war in Vietnam or blunt findings of what’s reaping the United States of America, Luther King was a solitary maverick who railed against the system and diffused the bomb of unwanted hatred & racism with his heroic schedule. His relentless rage and mountaintop courage to batter the winds of injustice makes him a star in world history.
