Famous Martin Luther King Quote

The famous Martin Luther King Quote that I have chosen is "oppressed people cannot remain oppressed forever" (King excerpt, paragraph 7). Even though this quote seems very simple and obvious, it still contains a lot of power. Through this quote, one can remember the times in history where oppressed people found the strength and courage to conquer the challenges against them and establish their beliefs for everyone to see. The colonists fought against the opposing rule of the British and established their freedom in the Revolutionary War. Blacks fought against the oppression of slavery in the Civil War and have since then established their freedom throughout the world. People today fight against the oppressions of government to establish their belief in a free society. This quote, essentially, contains the desire of almost every single person in the world. A desire to rise above any challenges or oppressions, no matter how long it might take, to establish the belief of freedom and peace within their lives.
