'Why I look upto Martin Luther King?'-Leslie Tripathy

-

Dr. King was a good example because he fought, and didn't stop, for what he thought was right. He would help people that weren't treated right, have equal rights. He encouraged people to help bring fair treatment to all of the people who didn't get it. He would help, and encourage others to help, end segregation.

Share | By Leslie Ann Tripathy Indian sport is today dominated by small town icons that have brought laurels for the nation.
