As
he was riding his horse down the trail, he was yelling. He was yelling the
famous quote, “The British are coming, the British are coming!” He was warning
those of the danger coming. The British were attack Massachusetts after the
Boston tea party. He helped fight for his own rights, that is why I think that
you should fight for your own rights.
I
was reading an article on Google News, and it was about how in Minnesota, gay
marriage is legal now. Gay people in Minnesota fought for their rights in
Minnesota, and know they can marry in Minnesota. The bill to legalize it in
Minnesota had to go through 3 different houses in order for it to legalized. It
had to go through the senate, the House, and the governor. So with Minnesota legalizing gay marriage,
that makes that 12 U.S. states have
legalized gay marriage cause gay people fought for it.
With gay people fighting for their rights to
marry each other, African Americans have fought for them also. In the 1950’s,
African Americans were fighting for equal rights. There were several main
people fighting for equal rights, Martin Luther King Jr, Jackie Robinson, and
Rosa Parks. Rosa Parks fought for equal rights when she wouldn’t give up her seat
to a white person, that ended in boycotting and the stop of segregation on
busses in Tuskegee, Alabama. That started the end of segregation. In baseball
segregation ended by a man named Jackie Robinson. He played for the Brooklyn
Dodgers, were he made history, and Martin Luther King Jr. was the leader of all
of this. He gave speeches, boycotts, but nothing with violence.
With gay people fighting if they can marry, or
when African Americans fought for their own rights, I believe when people are
fighting for their own rights, as if it is a major problem, or if it is a
problem just at home where not everybody will hear about it. People fighting
for their rights is the right things, but I don’t get why America already lets
them have their right, the bill of rights already states that all men is equal,
none greater than the other. Our founding fathers created that bill, so all men
and woman should be equal.
While if you are gay, or if you a person in a
poor country, fighting for your rights is the right thing. If you don’t have
rights like everybody has, and you fight for it, people shouldn’t hate you for
it, even if you are gay, a woman, African American, or a country trying to free
itself. keep trying, because you will succeeded.
