The dream was about having peace in the world and to make the world a better place. He wanted equality because he wanted people to be educated and get jobs by their skills and not by the color of their skin. It’s coming true in some parts of the world.
Martin Luther King Jr. was a Baptist minister which means that he was a pastor. He was also African-American. He was born on January 15th 1929 and assassinated on April 4th 1968.
