MLK was an American Baptist leader and also an activist. If I had to choose one thing that interests me most, is how he captured attention of the nation. How he could stand up, yet still survive as long as he did, doing the dangerous work he did. One time, a young(german) Nazi came onto his stage and started beating MLK. Yet, in less then 20 seconds MLK was hugging the Nazi, and he didn't even get a penalty.
