Reflection

• There are lots of discriminations in the world nowadays even in our city too. We always discriminate the people who are different from us. We may discriminate those who are the disabled, homosexual or the poor. We always think that they should keep a distance to us.

• However, through Mr. Martin, we learnt that we should use love to care those people. Mr. Martin has used his entire life to fight for the rights and peace of blacks and he wanted the world become more peacefully.

• Why are we keeping discriminate the people around us now? Is it satire?

• After knowing more about of Mr. Martin, we learnt that we should not discriminate and exclude the people has different background to us but respect and understand their difficulties.

• Injustices are happened around the world. Sometimes when we saw some unfairness in school, we may not give our hands out to help the unfairness.

• Through Mr. Martin, we learnt that we should keep our righteousness and a justice heart to keep our city in peace and harmony.

• Lastly, We should be thankful and grateful to Mr. Martin. If Mr. Martin didn't appear in the world or promote justice of blacks, we won't live here now harmoniously. The Americans might not have the president, Mr. Obama now.
