Good communicator Martin Luther King Martin Luther King Jr. (born Michael King Jr.; January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an American Christian minister and activist who became the most visible spokesperson and leader in the civil rights movement from 1955 until his assassination in 1968. Martin Luther King was famous for his speeches against U.S government. He had unique and most of all inspirational manner of oration. In my opinion MLK had an enormous impact on new generation of speakers, because all of modern orators trying to copy the style and the main skills of MLK. In opinion of historians the main speech abilities of King were: Fluent and eloquent manner of speaking, being responsive to all black nation in U.S.A and most of all inspirational oration. As evidence of his oration skills, we can open any history book of America. Because of King’s protests and inspirational speeches, black population of America has started a revolution for their rights! In the end I wanted to say that in my opinion MLK was an irreplaceable person in U.S.A history. Using his high skill abilities, king achieved a new heights that no one could achieve before him.
