Martin Luther King Jr. Day is meant to honor King's life and work advocating for racial equality, though some argue it should be used as a day of service rather than just a day off. In the southern US in King's time, blacks faced legal racial discrimination like separate and underfunded schools, lower pay than whites, and lack of police protection. King worked to change both racist laws and attitudes, hoping blacks would feel empowered and whites would respect blacks as equals.

2. How should Martin Luther King be
remembered?
● Each year on the third Monday in January
americans have a day to honour the life and the
work of Martin Luther King.
● The slogan it was: `Make it a day ON not a day
OFF!´

3. Examples of racism in southern
USA
● Blacks had separate schools from whites(white
schools had more money)
● Blacks were paid less than white people.
● The police don´t do nothing to stop these.
● They could vote in the elections, but first they
need to register to vote.
Conclusion: That we are all equals and that is
not fair.

Martin Luther King knew that they needed to
change the laws and also needed to change
attitudes as well:
● Blacks peoples attitudes neede to change- to
helped them to feel stronger.
● White peoples attitudes need to change- they
could respect black people and treat them as
equals.
