"They marched for freedom, not because someone told them to." I just made that quote up, but still, its true. When Martin Luther King Jr., got out of jail he told the blacks that they should march for freedom and that they would probably go to jail. He said for those who wanted to help to stand up. No one stood up. Then all the children stood up! Every single one! Even the kids wanted equal rights just like the adults. On May 2, 1963 the children marched through the streets of Birmingham, Alabama facing angry police, vicious dogs, a very powerful fire hose, being arrested and some were even beaten. Wow, this is sad and just because of the color of their skin. Would you have had the courage to do what they did?
