Both Martin Luther King and Pearl Gibbs took action to achieve their goal of freedom for the black and Aboriginal people. Martin Luther King made many speeches, as did Pearl Gibbs, to prove his point that African Americans are just as important and worthy as white people. In his most well known speech, ‘I Have A Dream,’ August 28 1963, Martin Luther King said, ‘I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by their character.’ Martin Luther King believed in equality for all human beings and made several non-violent protests and freedom rides to prove his point.

Martin Luther King’s legacy was that all men and women should be equal no matter what race. Pearl Gibbs’ legacy was on one hand, the same as Martin Luther King’s; everybody should be equal. But on the other hand, it was slightly different. Pearl Gibbs wanted Aboriginals to not be treated as lower class citizens, to be able to vote, to be able to own their own land and not have it taken away from them, to stop the Aboriginal children from being taken away from their
