by Marx's and Gandhi's ideas after earning a doctorate in theology from Boston University Martin wanted to do something more but his father insisted he'd take a job as a local church pastor by this time Martin was married and his family life had started although he could have settled in the north where racial discrimination and social conflict were less intense Martin Jr strongly felt that he should serve the people in the South thus he became a pastor at a large Church to help as many people as possible Martin Luther King senior had envisioned a simple life for his son but Martin took on a challenging task helping people and serving them gave him real satisfaction he began preaching at the Baptist Church in Montgomery Alabama before each sermon Martin would study extensively to ensure his words inspired his listeners he never spoke about things like the afterlife instead he shared ideas people could apply in their daily lives such as forgiveness and loving On's enemies racial discrimination in Montgomery was at its peak with whites and blacks frequently clashing reports of violence were widespread in streets and public transport ation seats were reserved for whites and blacks did not dare to sit there those who did were sent straight to jail Martin Luther King became an active member of the National Association for the advancement of colored people NAACP he was offered the presidency of the group but declined believing he could serve people better through the church despite rejecting the president's post he remained conect connected with the NAACP and was known as Dr King in 1955 an incident in Montgomery sparked a significant protest movement an elderly black lady Rosa Parks sat in the whites only section of a public bus and refused to give up her seat when asked she was arrested and the News spread quickly the entire black community boycotted Montgomery's public buses a one-day strike that extended for weeks the black community decided to form a stronger organization the Montgomery Improvement Association and called upon Dr King to lead it this time Martin Luther King agreed feeling the need to help the people Dr King delivered many inspiring speeches emphasizing nonviolence and passive resistance greatly influenced by Gandhi he urged black people to prot test discrimination peacefully to ensure victory in the end Dr King stood with the black community in their fight until segregation in Montgomery was completely removed however this was a significant risk for Dr King who received death threats from whites the police arrested him for overs speeding attempting to Halt the protest movement before the court trial Dr King received a threatening phone call if if you don't leave town in 3 days we'll blow up your house and your head concerned for his wife and newborn daughter he felt a heavy burden on his shoulders and prayed to God saying God I feel weak I've lost my courage I don't know what to do in his deep concentration Martin felt as if someone was telling him Martin Luther King Stand Up For What is Right fight for truth and justice Days Later someone bombed his house miraculously sparing his wife and daughter angry black people gathered at his home ready to attack whites but Dr King told them we must not hate our enemies but love them we will behave well with them and show them that we do not consider them our enemies months later the Supreme Court issued a judgment removing reserved seats for whites in Montgomery's buses now black people could use public transport without fear Martin Luther King was the first black person free to sit anywhere on the bus marking a historic day for black people humans have a tendency toward aimlessness there was a time when Martin Luther King Jr himself didn't know his life's purpose the pressure from his father held him back he wanted to choose his path but was compelled to fulfill his duties as a son however certain events led Dr King to find a meaningful path he found his aim to guide people on the right path and serve Humanity which gave him real satisfaction initially like everyone else he felt fear and hesitation but eventually he gathered the courage to listen to his inner voice despite death threats Dr King continued to fulfill his Duty history will all always remember Martin Luther King Jr for his hard work and efforts which

fickleness Queen Elizabeth became the Queen of England at the young age of 25 Al in 1559 at that time it was a tradition for any new king or queen to have a grand procession throughout London when Elizabeth became Queen England was going through a crisis the government was heavily in debt and Society was plagued with thieves and Beggars the biggest challenge facing the new Queen was the conflict between Protestant and Catholic Christians Elizabeth's father Henry VII had declared pred protestantism the official religion of the country after Henry VII his elder daughter Queen Mary took the throne and declared Catholicism as the only religion in England leading to a bloody Civil War this earned her the nickname Bloody Mary when Elizabeth became Queen the people were not very enthusiastic because she had no leadership experience no one knew what changes she would bring to England her real name was Elizabeth tutor the daughter of Henry VII and Anne bin Henry's second wife who was executed when Elizabeth was just 3 years old the people of England knew little about her or her personality upon her coronation a grand procession was held all of London was decorated with musicians and Jesters entertaining the public Queen Elizabeth wore an elegant golden robe adorned with precious gems astonishing the people as she mingled with them speaking in a simple and loving manner an old lady gave her a sprig of rosemary which the queen held in her hands throughout the procession she smiled at the public looking into their eyes and listening to their words from that day on Queen Elizabeth won the hearts of her people unlike other Royal members numbers who maintained distance from the Common People Elizabeth was different her Chief advisor William Cecil had a secret plot to take over the throne believing that a woman could never be a true leader he and other advisers planned never to let the queen make independent decisions until she married thinking the new king would hold true Authority Henry VII had relied on his advisers allowing them to govern while indulged in hunting and beautiful women but Queen Elizabeth was very different from her father and sister she was fully involved in state matters working late into the night which became her daily routine Cecil never expected Elizabeth to be such a dedicated leader to handle Foreign Affairs Queen Elizabeth had an interesting strategy when Spain tried to start a war in Europe she showed interest in marrying the leader of France causing Spain to back off fearing an English French Alliance if France and Spain cause trouble Elizabeth would favor the arch Duke of Austria hinting at an English Austrian Alliance once she achieved her goal her intentions would cool off there came a time when Parliament threatened to cut Royal funding if the queen did not marry soon Elizabeth would then show interest in some King Prince or Arch Duke making people believe she was going to marry as soon as she secured the funding she would find an excuse to withdraw her marriage proposal Queen Elizabeth used this trick for years to avoid marriage proving that she could rule England on her own neither advisors nor suitors could challenge her humans have a tendency towards fickleness often taking irresponsible actions political leaders often believe that with power and position they can do whatever they want and that people will follow their every decision without question but that is not the case Queen Elizabeth understood this very well she always took her responsibili seriously and proved her
