Martin Luther King Jr. was a very inspiration character in the field of dehumanization. King lead many marches and inspired many to follow him. With his nonviolent philosophy, he moved right along with the changes in Blacks rights. King had many challenges with discrimination that certainly made him feel dehumanized, but he used faith in God and resiliency against others discretion's to get through his tough times.
I certainly think that Martin Luther King Jr.answers the question, in the face of dehumanization, how do faith and resiliency validate the human spirit. Martin Luther was dehumanized with racism and black rights. He took a stand and was a very recognized civil rights leader and lead many civil, nonviolent marches to fight for their rights. He had faith in God to get him through those times. King was resilient enough to recover from all of the discrimination's and jump right back into working for freedoms. Unfortunately, King was assassinated but his journeys led to many great opportunities for blacks.
The most interesting fact that I learned from my research was that Martin Luther's philosophy of nonviolent action still got him arrested 30 times. I would have thought that since his philosophy was so well thought out that he would not have been arrested that many times. As history shows, things do not always work out for the best, but with King's situation he was one of the many few that had to pay the price to get what they wanted.
