__ **Assignment #1 My Hero** __.

My Hero would deffinately be Martin Luther King Jr. He exceedingly fills the role of a hero defined by Joseph Cambell. MLK fought for civil rights for primarily blacks and other minorities and was successful in doing so. What makes this accomplishment amazing is that he did this all with the whites harshly opposing him. MLK, no matter what anyone said or did, kept on with his goals for equal rights for every race in society. MLK received many awards for his actions such as a monument named after him located in Washington D.C. Sadly though, this hero was killed on April 4, 1969 by way of gunshot. This enshrines his legacy by showing he would give his life for civil rights.
