The most important person in history who made our society better was Martin Luther King. Due to that there was segregation at that time, the laws weren’t fair. He probably did it because he felt empathy for all of the other black people, who couldn’t go to the same schools or drink from the same fountains as white people.

Martin Luther King broke the law of segregation and racism. He helped a lot of other black people too, like Jackie Robinson, who was the only black person at the baseball team. He also helped many other people like Viola Desmond and Ruby Bridges, and other black people who were affected by prejudice and racism. Martin Luther King had enough courage and confidence to say “I have a dream.”, and that made segregation just disappear. 

After Rosa Parks was arrested, Martin Luther King started a boycott to make the bus drivers not earn any money. Martin Luther King did that to show that the laws were unfair and needed to be equal. 

Today, without the great Martin Luther King, black and white people wouldn't have equal rights. Obviously, white people would have better treatment, and the laws would be unfair, but because of the legend of Martin Luther King, the law of segregation faded. At the end, sadly, Martin Luther King was shot by someone, but his great story still stands. He greatly made the laws more equal and finally, segregation was gone.
