Martin Luther King Jr.

   Martin Luther King Jr. fought and died to make the changes that we have today and we are treating them as if it were just a doormat. "...And I've seen the promised land... But I want you to know that we as a people will get to the promised land." Dr. King dreamed of what the promised land was, he knew what his idea of it was. He felt in his heart confidence that we will get to where we are now, even without him. If Dr. King walked into this school tomorrow, he would be proud of the diversity, but not the way we behave.
   First, our school is very diverse. There are many different races in one class alone, so the hallway is just booming with diversity. For the most part, we all get along just fine and if we don't race is most likely not the reason why. We all fit in just fine, no matter if we are black, white, or brown. There are people here that are black, white, Jamaican, Spanish, and so on and so forth. The same with the teachers. He would be awed.
   Aside from our school's diversity, the students here behave as if they were wild animals.Running around the hallways and yelling profanities. In Plainfield High School, you can not go one hour without hearing at least one or two profanities. Dr. King was not only a peaceful man, but he was a heavy duty pacifist. There are a plethora of hitting and fighting going on in the halls every single day. I am more than sure that he would not like that at all, in fact he would be ashamed.
   All together, he would probably be happy about the diversity in this school but not the way we behave. Dr. King would be so upset at the way we act, its ridiculous. He did not even like for the people who were following him and who believed in him to be violent in any way, shape or form. he believed that you must be nice to your enemies no matter what they do to you. Do not retaliate. his dream was to not only be diverse, but to be well behaved.
