The best Leader in the World

In the world there are leaders. They are famous because they fight for freedom and rights of liberty. One important leader is Martin Luther King because he was many values to be a leader and he has a leader for many people in the United States.

First of all, Martin Luther King was considered the most important leader in the United States because he defended the rights of black population. He was a leader in the American civil rights movement. For example, Martin Luther King, representing SCLC (Southern Chistrian Leadership Conference), was among the leaders of the so-called "Big Six" civil rights organizations who were instrumental in the organization of the March in Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963. King was an advocate of nonviolence philosophy and civil disobedience, used successfully in India by Mohandas Gandhi. All leaders have values but Martin Luther King had many things that other leader wants to have; for example, he helped to other people because he thought that these people needed his help. In addition, he also had many values for example he was honest and he respected all people.

In addition Martin Luther King had left a legacy and knowledge. He always thought in other people and today many people remember him. For example, in the international scene, King's legacy included influences on the Black Consciousness Movement and Civil Rights Movement in South Africa. He also made some debates even within King’s family as to where he would have stood on gay rights issues. Other legacies are the books wrote by Martin Luther King, for example Stride toward freedom; the Montgomery story (1958) The Measure of a Man (1959), Strength to Love (1963) etc. However, other groups of people consider that he wasn´t a good leader.

It is argued that King was criticized by many groups. This included opposition by more militant blacks and such prominent critics as Nation of Islam member Malcolm X. Martin Luther King was hated by many white people in the United States. King was assassinated before the march unfolded, but he left knowledge for people in the United States.

Martin Luther King was a good leader and he left many good things. In my opinion, Martin Luther King is the best leader because he was worried about all the people who needed him.
