This article has several main points. The three that I am choosing to talk about are the right to assemble, the right to be treated equal and Rosa Parks. All through-out this article of Martin Luther King's speech, he mentioned how they had every right to be in public and protesting. This was an important point of his speech because he was trying to teach them to stand up for their rights and not to let others force them out of their rights. As we all know, the right to be treated equal is one of the driving forces behind MLK. He fought most of the United States so that him and his people could have equal rights and be treated like human beings. Rosa Parks is another main point of this speech because of her couragous act. She started the revolution for the black community. If she hadn't refushed to give up her seat who knows if MLK would have had the impact on racism that he did.

Reading the article "MIA Mass Meeting at Holt Street Baptist Church", I feel as though a major part of the article would have to be giving rights the "Negroes" and having them have equal rights as the white people. Mrs. Rosa Parks is possibly one reason MLK gave the protest to give equal right to African Americans. Montgomery black leaders were also a part of this. Black violence in the south was very serious at this time, but there were also nonviolence white groups who did not terrorize because of the feeling of guilt. Also including many college students who were arrested because of their support towards the colored.
