1. What does “inspirational mean?”
2. Who do you think is inspirational?
Today, we are going to talk about a man from the U.S.A. who I think is very inspira-
tional
Do you know who this is?
Martin Luther King, Jr.
But, before we talk about Mar-tin Luther King, Jr…. a little
bit about U.S. history.
Slavery was legal until 1865
But for many years later, white people were not kind to black people
There was still lots of racism ( 인종 차별주의 ),
mostly in the south
Especially in states like Al-abama and Mis-sissippi
Black people could not eat at the same restaurants as white people
Sign from a “white only” restau-rant
Black people could not use the same restrooms as
white people, or even drink from the same water foun-
tains.
• Black children also went to different schools than white children.
• (And the schools for black children were not as good as the schools for white children)
Around 1955 black people started to get angry….
…and people started to protest
… kind of like the KTX workers are protesting now in Korea
Sometimes the (white) police were not good….
Birmingham, Alabama, 1963
Martin Luther King, Jr. helped orga-nize the protests
But he always told people to not be violent
Here is a VERY famous speech that he gave. Maybe you know it.
