Word of the Week: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Since its Martin Luther King Day, there is no mystery on who this word or the week will pertain to. Also Dr. King can not be summed up in just one word or sentence, so i have a few word and will use then in a short paragraph.

Halcyon - calm; peaceful; tranquil:

Bucolical - of or pertaining to shepherds; pastoral.

Ecclesiastical - of or pertaining to a member of the clergy or other person in religious orders.

Martyr - a person who is put to death or endures great suffering on behalf of any belief, principle, or cause:

Since Reverand Martlin Luther King, Jr., there has not been any one, in America, of eccesiastical backgroung to move this nation. His bucolical aura abled him to lead fellow people of color to join him in civil right activism. During the late 1950's and the 1960's, Dr. King was hacylon in his efforts to fight segregation by using methods of boycotys, sit-ins, rallies and marches. Ultimately, On April 4th, 1968, his assasination made him a martyr for racial equality in America.
