Analysis of Martin Luther King Jr. Warrior for Peace by...
FIRST MARKING PERIOD It was during the summer of 1928, when a black man named Joshua stopped for a little bit of gas. He was going to visit a friend to Florida during his vacations, and he was driving all the way from New York. Back then the black people were not allow to any white people place.
