Martin Luther King v. Thoreau

Image result for civil disobedienceThese two pieces and people are similar in many ways. Martin Luther King was all about civil rights and defying the laws that he didn't think was right. He fought for what he thought was right even when the people in the mid-1900s thought he was crazy. Martin Luther King died fighting for what he believed. His thoughts changed the World. I don't know if Martin Luther King could have read Thoreau's writing or not. Thoreau was for this type of fighting. He told what he thought was right or wrong. Thoreau believed in a government that was better and people that would actually run it and not be foolish. He believed you should do what you deemed right instead of what the government saw as right. He knew exactly what he was talking about. Martin Luther King knew what he was talking about too. Image result for martin luther king jr
