Martin Luther King Jr.: A Quest for Peace and Equality
Title Slide
Martin Luther King Jr.: A Quest for Peace and Equality by
Mackenzie Flaws. Martin Luther King Jr. played an important
role in the civil rights movement during the 1950’s and 1960’s.
This presentation will discuss King’s ideas and the impacts he
made on social change within America.

2. The Beginning: The Montgomery Bus Boycott
MLK was a minister at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church when
Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to surrender her seat on a
segregated bus to a white man. He was nominated by members
of the church to lead the Montgomery Improvement Association
(MIA) and ended up becoming the chair of MIA (Wilson, 2005).
King helped develop the local boycott into a social justice
movement that reached international significance while also
developing his main idea of nonviolent social change (Carson,
2005).
Civil Rights Movement: A Leader for Nonviolence
The violent tactics of the white supremacists is what caused
King to develop nonviolence resistance as a practical strategy.
There are more than a thousand documented violent incidences
committed by the white supremacists aimed towards stopping
integration from 1956-1966 including burning, bombing,
abduction, castration, and murder (Bermanzohn, 2000). King
believed that using a nonviolence strategy would force the state
to recognize and combat the racist violence that was being
enacted upon the African American race (Bermanzohn, 2000).
Civil Rights Movement: The Power of Words
King is most widely known for his powerful speeches that
resonated with everyone who heard him. He would use his
speeches to reinforce his ideas for nonviolent social change and
quest for equality among all races. I Have a Dream is one of his
most famous speeches that was presented at a gathering of
250,000 people at the Washington Monument before the March
on Washington. He had a singular goal of expressing the dire
need to secure basic civil rights for African Americans. King
was the only speaker that ultimately captured the collective
conscience of the American people and his words transformed
the March on Washington into an unforgettable historic event
(Vail, 2000).
Birmingham Campaign: The Turning Point
“Don’t worry about your children, they’re going to be alright.
Don’t hold them back if they want to go to jail. For they are

3. doing a job for not only themselves, but for all of America and
for all mankind” (King, 1963, as cited in The Martin Luther
King, Jr. Research and Education Institute, 2020). The
Birmingham Campaign was a huge influence in helping change
the mindset of those who sided with racial laws. King used the
campaign as a visual event to pierce the minds of the white
moderates to see the same as the African Americans did. Images
of the disturbing event evoked an intense emotional response to
the civil rights movement that prompted President Kennedy to
call onto each individual American to examine their conscience
and pursue racial equality (Johnson, 2007).
King vs. The Government
The government was not a fan of King as he pressed towards
removal of racial laws. King would be arrested many times by
police force during his nonviolent protests and boycotts over the
years. The FBI had extensive surveillance on King including
wire taps that add up to over 17,000 pages of conversations
from his hotel rooms and more (Kirk, 2004). The government
was afraid of King and the amount of change he could produce.
White conservative protestants would preach that government
action on behalf of blacks would be a result of coercion (Evans,
2009).
King’s Supporters: The Key to Equality
King gained the support of everyday citizens which would help
in his battle towards equality. It originally began with the
support of fellow African American citizens wanting the same
as he did, a stop to racial laws and desegregation. After further
success in his mission throughout the years, he would begin to
gain the trust and support of other races which would result in
his attention shifting from civil rights to basic human rights as
mass poverty and class inequality was on the rise (Jackson,
2008).
Conclusion
Martin Luther King Jr. was a strong leader that primarily
believed in nonviolent protests and worked hard to bring greater
equality for all in America. He accomplished a lot during this

4. time and changed America drastically through his leadership.
His battle for equality and quest for peace was cut short when
he was assassinated but his legacy is kept alive through the
support of his followers. King showed America the truth behind
the discrimination racial laws and changed America for the
better.

HRM Topic Paper
MGMT 3043-01 Spring 2020

6. Human Resource Management
Each student will select and research a specific topic or issue
related to Human Resource
Management. I am keeping this flexible so you can choose
something that interests you. The
topic you choose might be a course topic you find particularly
interesting or it might be related to
your career goals. If you are currently working full or part
time, you might want to select an
issue relevant to your current workplace (please note – this
should not be a personal issue you
are dealing with or have dealt with at work, but it can be an HR
topic related to your work
experience).
Your overall goal is to develop a comprehensive report about
your chosen topic or issue that
someone with little or no HRM knowledge can use to learn more
about it.
Your report should include the following:
• An introduction with a brief description of your chosen topic
or issue and why you chose
to research it.
• A detailed presentation and discussion that gives the reader a
comprehensive
understanding of the topic or issue and presents
recommendations or action steps based
on your research.

7. • A discussion of how the information in your report can be
used to benefit others.
• Include specific examples from at least 2 existing companies
to help the reader
understand what the topic or issue looks like in practice and
how organizations manage or
deal with it.
You should identify at least 5 resources (not including the 2
examples from existing companies
mentioned above) to assist in your analysis and the development
of your report. All 5 of the
resources used must be from outside sources (not including your
textbook). Avoid using
Wikipedia, resources that offer simple definitions such as a
dictionary, or personal interviews
and/or documents. Instead, focus on using quality resources
such as professional publications or
journal articles. All resources used for the completion of this
project should be cited
appropriately in the body of your paper and in the references
section at the end of the paper. The
length of your report should be sufficient to fully cover the
topic and meet the performance
standards (typically in the range of 5 to 7 pages). This report
will be evaluated based on your
presentation of the topic, your application of appropriate HR
concepts and theories to analyze the
topic, and your ability to effectively communicate the key
aspects of your chosen issue and make
it understandable and engaging.
Your report should follow APA writing style including a cover

8. page with your name and the
assignment name, 12-point Times New Roman font, double
spacing, 1-inch margins on all sides,
page numbers, and a references page. Also, use section
headings to enhance the organization
and readability of your paper.
Submit your document on the course Blackboard site using MS
Word format (.doc or .docx).
ASSIGNMENT DUE: April 12 (Sunday) before 11:59pm
GRADING: This assignment is worth a total of 100 points. See

Annotated Bibliography on Fight for Equality and Peace
Celina Del Felice & Helene Ruud. (20th November 2016). The
role the youth plays in peace-building and fighting for equality.
As far as this article is concerned, the youths play an important
role when it comes to our positive understanding of the
important role that the youths play in supporting the advocacy
for meaningful living and peace-building missions. Numerous
cases exist, and the analysis of past experiences is important for
dealing with the aspect of peace-building. Additionally, the
peace-building, as well as social sciences studies, have revealed
that the youths play an important role in the processes meant for
peace-building. The article has also revealed that despite that
youths represent the majority of the population in the majority
of the regions, the other parts of the society fail to recognize
this important role that the youths play to ensure that peace has
prevailed in their societies. Despite this failure, the youths have
played a significant role in developing the strategies that are
meant to advance the political participation of all people and
efforts meant for making this participation sustainable.
Abu-Nimer, M. (2003). Non-violence and peacebuilding in
Islam: Theory and practice. Gainesville, Fla: University Press
of Florida.
Regarding this article, non-violence means that the actors in
peace-building missions do not retaliate violently against the
actions that are embraced by their opponents. Instead, the above
individuals absorb the anger and damages they have been facing
and try to send a steadfast message regarding the patience and
insistence that they have been trying to make so that they may

10. overcome the aspects of injustice. When it comes to the Islamic
religion and culture, the Islamic try as much as possible to
overcome the negative image of the Islamists that has been
portrayed by Western individuals. The Islamists are highly
motivated to moving away from this negative perception of the
Islamic religion and joining other individuals so that they may
fight for the rights and freedom of every individual as well as
ensure that peace has been established.
Galtung J., Jacobsen C. G. & Brand-Johnson K. F. (2002).
Searching for peace: The road to Transcend. London; Sterling,
Va; Pluto Press in association with Transcend.
The above article advocates for a situation where peace will
prevail in nature between the genders and even races as well as
generations. In this case, classes, states, and even the nation
will serve neither as direct or structural but as a source of
cultural violence that will have to be dealt with immediately.
Under this context, peace is being regarded as the seven faults
of humanity, or in other words, what humanity has failed to do.
They include the aspects of exclusion, race, and class, genders,
and generations as well as the various states, among other
important aspects. Regarding this information, people have to
engage themselves in ensuring that all the above considerations
are aligned toward ensuring that peace prevails and that they
end the conflict as much as it would be possible. The above
study also provides an important situation or a vision for peace-
building missions as well as defining the globalization of the
world as a liberalized and well-organized society.
Gottfried, T. (2014). The fight for peace: A history of anti-war
movements in America. Minneapolis: 21st Century Books.
Regarding this article, the fight for peace and equality,
especially in American societies, mainly involves the forces for
peace in moments that the United States engaged in various war
aspects. Regarding this article, the colonists were involved in
fighting and prosecuting the Mennonites, the Quakers as well as
the Brethren since they failed to fight for the American
revolution and those cruel punishments that were imposed on

11. those people that failed to embrace the aspects of fighting anti-
peace campaigns and other aspects that were undermining the
peace of the people. Due to this case, the article offers various
information about the people that fought for peace and equality
for all the people. The author has also highlighted various
efforts that have been embraced by people like Henry David and
Senator Robert Byrd as well as those organizations that are
involved in ensuring that peace prevails. There are also
instances of the Hague Peace Conference and the launch of
international peace missions that are meant for ensuring peace
and equality for all exist.
Grille, R. (2005). Parenting for a peaceful world. Alexandria,
New South Wales: Longueville Media
Concerning this article, a revelation has been made that
essential parenting is important for ensuring sustainability,
especially in building peace and ensuring that equality has been
enhanced for all. The major aspects to address are the social and
psychological issues and those instances of historical and
cultural research regarding the brains of the individuals as far
as peace-building and equality are concerned. The author of the
article reveals that whenever a child is born of parents that are
meant to create peace and fight for equality, then the individual
will advocate for such aspects.
Nagler M. N. (2004). The search for a non-violent future: A
promise of peace for ourselves, our families, and even our
world. Maui, HI: Inner Ocean Publishing.
Regarding this article, the search for a non-violent means
exploration of non-violent ways and also the utility of this
aspect when it comes to healing and the humanization of the
current and the violent Universe. The article also reveals
Michael Nagler as a long-lasting scholar and also a non-violent
activist that revealed stories and incidents as well as actions of
non-violent movements that are naturally constructive.
Oberschall, A. (2007). Conflict and peace-building in divided
communities. London and New York: Routledge.
Regarding this article, the establishment of peace and dealing

12. with aspects of insecurity mainly lies in the political reform,
security, and instances of truth and justice. The creation of
peace also lies in the economic and social reconstruction.
Divided societies also mean that there is a high need for dealing
with conflicts and barriers opposed to peace-building. There is
also the revelation of dynamics of ethnic conflicts as well as the
complexity of warfare that is meant for bringing about a
mixture of insurgence, violation of human rights, and dealing
with organized crimes to ensure that peace prevails for all the
individuals. Due to the existence of a human rights violation,
various organizations arose like the UN, NATO, and also the
Red Cross.
Kemper Y. (2005). Youths in approaches to war-to-peace
transitions. International organizations Berghof report. Centre
for Constructive Conflict Management.
The above article and study reveal the manner that the youths
have been involved in dealing with wars related to transitioning
to peace and also the responses that have been made by the
international organizations that try to make sure peace and
equality for all prevails. In this case, the international firms
have been divided between the demand for protecting
themselves and the aspect of allowing their meaning
participation in missions that are meant to enhance the existence
of peace and dealing with issues related to the absence of
equality in various societies. The article also reveals that the
failure by any individual to integrate and also reintegrate the
youths into the civil structures meant for prevailing peace and
equality will lead to the total failure of the missions and
organizations meant for fighting inequality and instances of
fighting for peace in various societies and individuals meant for
ensuring that societies live peacefully.
