MIA Mass Meeting at Holt Street Baptist Church

In the article, MIA Mass Meeting at Holt Street Baptist Church, Martin Luther King Junior talks about segregation and equality, the two main points of this article. In 1955, there were a lot of problems with segregation. Whites had their own place and so did the blacks. To MLKJ and more than half of the black population, this wasn’t ok and something needed to be done about it. However, change was just around the corner thanks to Rosa Parks.

Rosa Parks was really the first person to step up and do something about the situation. By making a bold and daring move to not move to the black section of the bus, she raised awareness to the country about segregation. Shortly after this incident, people around the country were trying to integrate and make everything equal for all. The blacks did not fight using weapons, but with determination and togetherness. These people were determined. “And we are determined here in Montgomery to work and fight until justice runs down like water, (Yes) and righteousness like a mighty stream.”

Equality in our country now is not a problem. To me, it shouldn’t matter what skin color you have. We are all people and have feelings. Rosa Parks was a strong person, and I like to think of her as a hero to all black people. She had the courage that most people wouldn’t have. She was the starting point to a better country with more freedom and rights. We are all equal, so let’s treat everyone as one.
