Legacy of Dr.King


The legacy of Dr.King with regard to the enforcement of voting rights at the local level for African Americans is that he fought for the rights of the people, because they did not have the right to vote and among other rights they did not have for simply being African American. Dr.King believed that everyone deserves equality and justice, and it should not matter what color your skin is because we are all people and deserve the same rights. Dr.King enforced voting rights through a nonviolent approach to this topic because he believed that fighting was not the answer, but rather protesting and marching was. Dr.King made it his mission to fight for the rights of the people and when it came to voting rights wanted to enforce that African Americans deserved the right to vote, because at the end of the day they are people just like everyone else. As human beings we are all essentially the same, and therefore should have the same rights and not excluded any group based on race, ethnicity or gender. These rights are not still in danger for African Americans and other groups in the US, because nowadays most people have the right to vote unless you are not a citizen then that would be a group that is not allowed to vote due to their circumstance.
