“Nếu một người làm công việc quét đường, anh ta cần phải quét đường như Michelangelo vẽ tranh, như Beethoven soạn nhạc, hay như Shakespeare làm thơ. Anh ta cần phải quét đường thật tốt sao cho tất cả mọi người trên thiên đường hay dưới trần gian đều phải ngừng lại và nói: "Nơi đây có một người quét đường vĩ đại đã làm rất tốt công việc của mình”

Martin Luther King, Jr. was an American clergyman, activist and prominent leader in the African-American civil rights movement. His main legacy was to secure progress on civil rights in the United States and he is frequently referenced as a human rights icon today.
A Baptist minister, King became a civil rights activist early in his career. He led the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957, serving as its first president. King's efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. There, he raised public consciousness of the civil rights movement and established himself as one of the greatest orators in U.S. history.
King's main legacy was to secure progress on civil rights in the United States, which has enabled more Americans to reach their potential.
