Martin Luther King

One of the world’s best known advocates of non-violent social change
strategies, Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK), synthesized ideals drawn from many
different cultural traditions. Recent studies of him emphasize the extent to
which his ideals were rooted in African-American religious traditions which were
then shaped by his education. The image of a social activist and leader was the
result of extensive formal education, strong personal values and licit ethics.
This excellence in leadership can be traced to his character which is shaped by
his moral values and personality. We look at MLK and these traits to reveal the

Integrity has a large effect on what we think, say and do, it is through

faith in him. Through King’s integrity he believed that America, the most
powerful and richest nation in the world will lead the way to a revolution of
values. This revolution will change the way society views itself, shifting from
a “thing-orientated” society to a “person-orientated” society. When this
occurs, King believed that racism will be capable of being conquered and this
nation will be “Free at last.” King’s unconditional love for all humans
