Topic: Social justice: the impact of Martin Luther King Jr.

This topic explores Martin Luther King Jr. as an influential leader in the 20th century and his contributions to the fight for social justice. The aspects that are likely to be developed from this issue include:

Civil rights

Civil rights ensure that all people regardless of their social background have equal access to social opportunities. I have chosen this aspect because Martin Luther King Jr. did so much in advocating for civil rights and especially voting rights (Majola, 2020).

Racial equality

I have chosen this aspect because this one of the main agendas of Martin Luther King Jr. King saw racial equality as the best way to achieve social justice at a time where racial discrimination was the norm (Dorrien, 2018).

Income gap

This is another aspect that is likely to develop from this issue. I have chosen this aspect because with the racial discrimination and inequality that was going on during the time of Martin Luther King Jr., the economic gap was wide and this illustrated social injustice (Majola, 2020).
