father's car,
driver,



The taxi driver had a car phone, so I asked him to call the police.
Soon we heard the sound of a police car. The police told the woman to
stop the car using a loudspeaker. The taxi came to a stop, too. I got out
right then and said to the woman,
car.



The woman smiled and said,
I've seen your photo in your father's office.



Before I could say one word, the woman explained that she was
my father's new assistant. My father had asked her to take his computer to

my father and he told us what the woman said was right. The police and
the taxi driver laughed. I felt very sorry. It was both the first time and the

doing 110 kilometers per hour. We were very close to the kangaroos—too

Every
January
we
celebrate
the
life
of
a
great
man,
Martin
Luther
King who fought for civil rights. He believed that all Americans should
be treated fairly, no matter what their skin colors were.

Dr.
King
was
born
in
1929
in
Atlanta.
Because
he
was
black,
he
could not go to the same schools as white children. Black Americans also
had to use separate restrooms, restaurants, theaters and swimming pools
in some states.

Dr. King thought this was wrong. He was a Christian minister(
牧师
)
who
worked
for
equal
rights
for
black
people.
He
helped
organize
protests to change those unfair laws.

It was a hard fight. Dr. King was attracted and arrested(
逮捕
) many
times.
But
more
and
more
Americans
grew
to
understand
that
it
was
wrong to treat black people differently from white people.

In 1963, Dr. King led many people in a march to Washington, D. C.
where there he gave his famous speech “I Have a Dream”. He said people
should
be
judged
by
their
hearts,
not
by
their
skin
colors.
His
efforts
helped bring about new laws to create equal rights for all Americans.

The
third
Monday
of
January
is
a
holiday
to
celebrate
the
life
of
Martin
Luther
King.
We
should
respect
his
courage
in
working
to
improve the lives of so many people.
