Frederick Douglass and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. were both extremely intelligent, articulate, courageous men.  They  put their lives on the line for the cause of freedom.  Mr. Douglass spoke about slavery and the struggle to end it.  One hundred years later Dr. King spoke about the civil rights Blacks still had not received.  We owe them enormous gratitude and respect.

Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was a Baptist minister and American political activist who was the most famous leader of the American civil rights movement. King won the Nobel Peace Prize [1] before being assassinated in 1968. In 1977, King was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, by Jimmy Carter. For his promotion of non-violence and racial equality, King is considered a peacemaker and martyr by many people around the world. Martin Luther King Day was established in his honor.

The whole bus boycott started when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat.  Then the civil rights movement started with Martin Luther King Jr. and his "I Have a Dream" speech.  I don't know if this is the kind of information you're looking for, but the bus boycott may have been the beginning of the civil rights movement.

Two come to mind quickly.\n\nClara Barton- she did heroic work with her life, the heart of a lion that woman and she established the Red Cross.\n\nMartin Luther King Jr.- always admired him. I think he stands for every American's American Dream....one of a better life.\n\nThe idea is new so I  would go with a quarter on both.

This is an odd question.  I don't think Martin Luther King Jr. influenced technology.\n\nAre you sure your school question isn't about Martin Luther\n\nHe lived in the 1500's and was the major factor in the creation of protestantism in the Christian faith.\n\nHe did lots to influence technology, including the creation of major printing presses and information availability.  Before the 1500's few people knew how to read.  Martin Luther, by promoting the printing of the bible for all to read encouraged literacy and therefore education and reform, which led to smarter people, which led to the invention of better technology.  Do you see where I'm going?\n\nThere's more information at.....

He was taken from us by a spiteful and ignorant man, a man who personified the evil of a society that feared a man of peace and solidarity. We miss you Martin, I miss you Martin..!!!\n\n"I have the audacity to believe that people everywhere can have three meals a day for their tired bodies, education and culture for their spirits. I believe that what self-centered men have torn down, men other-centered can build up. I still believe that one day mankind will bow before the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed, and non-violent redemptive goodwill will proclaim the rule of the land 'and the lion and the lamb shall lie down together and every man shall sit under his own vine and fig tree and none shall be afraid.' I still believe that we shall overcome." \n\nMartin Luther King, Jr.\n\nKevin, Liverpool, England.
