Proposal

The article that I will be working on is Social Justice. More specifically, I will be working on the section, "Social Justice Movements". I will be adding more information on what is the Civil Rights Movement and how that relates to Social Justice. Along with this section I plan to add information about Martin Luther King Jr. and how he relates to the Civil Rights Movement. I feel that explaining his protest and the tactics he used when he was protesting will be great information for the reader to learn about. This will also give them an idea about Martin Luther King Jr. being considered an activist. I just find it extremely surprising that the Civil Rights Movement was not mentioned in this page since it can relate a lot with it. I hope I am able to accomplish these tasks and the reader is able to understand how this all ties together. GYaneli789 (talk) 02:14, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

Good for you, GYaneli789, for getting a start going here. I am sending this cup of coffee in hopes of energizing your movement on this project. I strongly urge you to meet with our librarian and to consider where the study of these two social justice warriors might better go on WP. While the Social Justice page is certainly one place their work might be more developed, you might consider others as you do your research. Jbdolphin (talk) 04:06, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

• The American Scholar, the American Activist Martin Luther King Jr.

Author: Griffin Junius

Key Words: ACTIVIST

Since this article shares the authors own thoughts about Martin Luther King Jr. along with the inequality during the that time, the article also reflects on what was Martin Luther King's Jr. own perspectives. I'm debating whether to use this article or not because it shares two different perspectives and how they tie together. On that note, I need to see how far I get with the other article and see if it will make sense to even consider "The American Scholar...". One thing to consider about this article, is that I should only consider using a bit of information only because the article focuses more on martin Luther King Jr. work such as books and speeches.

Rough Draft #1

Martin Luther King

Write down what makes Martin Luther King Jr. a Social Justice Warrior (Activist) and mention the Civil Rights Movement

Martin Luther King Jr. was a great leader for many people and his name remains to be mentioned today. "King was deeply troubled by injustice and the propensity of humans to commit acts of evil" (Mattson, 1999). He wanted change and by accomplishing change in the United States the results would to equality among all citizens. "King was more than a spin-doctor for the cvil rights movement; he was an intellectual concerned with universal questions" (Mattson, 1999). King was not afraid for forcing change during the civil rights movement. He strongly believed in persuasion because being able to convince others was a way to conspire into fight for justice. For this reason Martin Luther King Jr. is viewed as an activist and how passionate he was about having equality in the United States.

The Civil Rights Movement was a time where equality was more enforced than ever. King demanded equality among blacks and whites along with the many other individuals outside and inside the movement. "This face of Dr. King challenges received wisdom about the character of the social contract sought and instantiated during the civil rights era" (Brown, 2014). He demanded equality and once he shared his famous speech "I Have A Dream" people started to understand more about the discrimination between all individuals. He wanted to change the minds of those who disagreed with him and he wanted to persuade those who did believe in him to continue fighting for their rights.

Rough Draft #2

The Civil Rights Movement

How does it relate to social justice?

The Civil Rights movement relates to Social Justice by the way they both focus on freedom and equality. This relates to Social Justice on aiming for more equality amongst all people, having the same opportunities, and receiving the same respect just as everyone else. Martin Luther King Jr. developing the nonviolence as a way to protest was the start of him focusing on specific tactics and strategy which helped conduct the civil rights movement. Some examples in which Martin Luther King Jr. did not use violence are the boycotts, marches, speeches, and sit-ins. He wanted to make sure his beliefs and his followers will get their point across and not risk getting hurt because by using violence could have lead to tougher consequences. Martin Luther King Jr. believed in equality amongst all citizens, regarding their race. Being respected and treated equal was highly important to him as well as his followers. They wanted to fight for their freedom and not be brutalized discriminated by those who were against Martin Luther King Jr.

The Civil Rights Movement was the largest movement in the 20th century. During this time African American's fought for their basic privileges of their U.S Citizenship. African American's fought for three main areas: education, social segregation, & voting rights. In the start of the 19th century the Jim Crow laws came to recognition and for that reason the main goal was to separate the blacks and the whites. Considering the Jim Crow laws focused on restrictions against the African Americans this triggered individuals to take action and seek for change. Owing to the fact that African American's were being restricted from voting and attending specific schools, Ralph Abernathy became one of the leaders of the Civil Rights Movement. He influenced many individuals to fight for equality and the rights they deserve for being part of the U.S. Taking into consideration that Martin Luther King Jr. was a minister near a church where Ralph Abernathy attended, these two mean became very close, to the point where Ralph Abernathy started to mentor Martin Luther King Jr. that lead for these two men to work together and become leaders of the Civil Rights Movement.

Ralph Abernathy and Martin Luther King Jr. developed ideas to protest and not use violence in order to get their message be heard loud and clear. By way of illustration, some ways in which Martin Luther King Jr. and Ralph Abernathy did not use violence were; boycotts, marches, speeches, and sit-ins. These two leaders believed in equality amongst all citizens, regarding their race and even though they were about the Jim Crow laws, these restrictions would not stop them from fighting for their citizenship and equal rights. African Americans, Ralph Abernathy, and Martin Luther King Jr. all wanted to fight for their freedom and not be brutally discriminated by those who were against them because of their color.
