Paragraph for paper

We can look at the people who came before Martin Luther King Jr and say how could they have adjusted themselves to the Jim Crow laws, how could they have adjusted themselves to not having the right to vote.  But when people look back to our time in history they will wonder how did we adjust ourselves to a 7.25 minimum wage, how did we adjust ourselves to over priced food and no affordable housing. How did we adjust ourselves to money being spent at war while budget cuts affect our public education. Adjusting is easy, standing up to make a change is hard. Martin Luther King Jr. had the power to make others understand that they deserved more then what was given to them, he helped them understand that they had a voice and using organization and non-violent methods they could have that voice heard. Today money overpowers race, money crosses and trumps racial boundaries. And before Dr King was assassinated he knew this also and that was what started the Poor Peoples campaign.
