Connection: MLK jr. and challenging the status quo

For the past few days we have been discussing how martin luther king jr. challenges the status quo. We read his letter from a birmingham jail as an assignment. We had to pick where in his letter where he was challenging the status quo. He saw the world in a different way. Someone would say the world is like this and he would deny it and prove why it wasn't. 

This is interesting because most people just sit back and accept the world the way it is. But not martin luther king. He stood up for what he believed in and he wanted to change the world for the better. He isn't the only one, there are several people in history who challenged the status quo. They all wanted to prove something and in order to do that they needed to come out and prove why some things in the world aren't what they are said to be. 

Even though martin luther king jr. and challenging the status quo were already connected I wrote about it because I thought it was a good thing to start the semester with.
