I would rate Martin Luther King's words a 10 because It tells you how unfairly African Americans were treated and how they fought to get their rights and their freedom. It tells you if you work for your goals you'll acheive it like they got their freedom. It teaches love and not to use fists. I would truly recommend this book!

I liked the book about Martin Luther King, Jr. He was a good man and wanted to help people. In his speech "I Have a Dream," Martin talked about people being fair and equal.
