Later when the Southern Christian Leadership Conference was founded, Dr King was chosen president. He directed the peaceful march on Washington, D.C. of 250,000 people, and then he made his famous speech — I Have a Dream. Whenever there was injustice, he would be there to lead people to fight for liberty and freedom. Eventually he received the Nobel Peace Prize. On March 21st, 1965, he led a march from Selma to Montgomery to focus attention on problems in black voters’ registration. At first about 3,000 people began the march, however, the number of people increased to 25,000 when the march was completed at last.

They suffer a lot and they are looked down upon by other people. Wherever you go you can find rubbish all around. Besides, there is only one tap water and people don’t have enough water to keep clean. What’s worse, circus children feel very inconvenient to go to school because the bus stop is far from their living area. Thus these children are looked down upon by other students.We are equal as citizens. But up to now, our town council hasn’t noticed the suffering of these people. If the situation continues like this, infective disease may arise. If so the whole people in the town may get infected. Since circus people should enjoy equal rights as we do, their living conditions should be improved. Effective measures should be taken by our council. We need to find a good position to rebuild the campsite. It should be a place which is near bus stops. What’s more, the facilities should be improved. If so, the circus people will enjoy a clean and better life. They will not be discriminated and share equability with us.
