Excerpt
Leaders are at the foundation of every society. Thus, every great leader must have a strong foundation to build upon for a society to succeed. One leader that is known for success in leadership is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He always fell back on his foundation, and never settled for anything different. For, it was his roots and determination that formed his leadership style led Dr. King to become a champion for peace and justice. The moral and ethical base that Dr. King developed can be an example to all who read his writings. By reading one of his more well known writings, “Pilgrimage to Nonviolence,” we can see that God’s love was the foundation that Dr. King built upon. Through a better understanding Dr. King’s use of God’s love, we may realize that is essential for the strength of a leader and the society that he leads.
