Throughout history of America, America has always tried to fine the faults in its leaders. Whether it was a president or a Civil Rights Movement leader like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, America has always partaken in ridiculing its leaders for the fact of disagreeing with they are trying to achieve.
Dr. King is prime example of a great leader who wanted to help create equality among all races in the United States, but was ridiculed due to faults that people thought he had. Dr. King was not only ridiculed verbally but was also beaten and thrown in jail of believing that everybody should not be judged by the color of the skin but by their character. Through his drive and perseverance DR. King was still able to imprint what he was trying to achieve all along by his famous " I have a dream" speech, which helped jumpstart the change that would soon come.
With all the good that was coming with DR. King's success, it would be that exact same reason that would cause him to lose his life. Although many people saw the good that came through Dr. King, there was still many people that did not agree with what he was trying to achieve, and in the end it would end up causing America to lose one of its great leaders.
No matter how much success a great leader may bring, America will still try to find the faults in what they believe will end up hurting our nation. Although no leader can please everybody, it is up to them to not let others try to influence them to changing their beliefs, just like Dr. King. America is built on leaders making a difference no matter what others think.
