In Martin Luther King "The World House", it explains different views of the world from different people's perspective, and he wanted world peace. Martin Luther King was an African American person who was known as a leader of the Civil Rights movement. Dr. King wanted peace for black and white as well as international societies that fought against each other, he wanted everyone to come together as a nation and live with each other in peace. This essay, "The World House," is important because of the change that Dr. Martin Luther King influenced in the society. Dr. King wanted to change society so that it would bring us together. He wanted everyone to come together, he wanted peace and equality for the world, and also he wanted to help change America in every way he could. According to the article about Fighting For Equal Rights, "While his goal was racial equality, King plotted out a series of smaller objectives that involved local grassroots campaigns for equal rights for African Americans." ("Fighting For Equal rights" 1) throughout the grass root campaign, Dr. King started to change the idea of equality at the local level; however, he wanted to have peace internationally. Therefore, the Vietnam War was the cause of  "The World House", speech. 

Dr. King wanted the society to come together. He expressed many feeling towards the Vietnam War that was going on in 1963. The Vietnam War was a high casualty war because the soldier's views had changed from fighting for territory to fighting to kill ("Vietnam War History"). Dr. King wanted all the soldiers to overcome a problem with North and South Vietnam by bringing peace, but not with violence. The Vietnam War was the leading problem in the world that explains the reason for "The World House" speech. During the Vietnam War communism was one of the main factors to the start of the war, which is reflected by Martin Luther King statement, "Nothing provides the communists with a better climate for expansion  with racism and exploitation throughout the world" (King 288). Dr. King compares racism with communism, to relate the Vietnam War to the Civil Rights Movement.  Racism is showed within the roots of our world as Dr. King says, "  the only people who do not share in abundance of western technology are colored people" (King 289). This quote from Dr. King explains a lot; the whites are credited for the accomplishment in society; the blacks are not allowed to work or help the world with new technology because of the color of their skin. 

Dr. King is responding to the Vietnam War and trying to get people to believe in world peace, by non-violent movements. The peace movement in the Vietnam War Protest started small on college campuses and worked to become a national movement just like the Civil Rights movement that started small and became national. Dr. King's main idea for the civil rights movement was equality, which is supported when he said;  "civil rights activists had been fighting these laws and social customs to secure equality for all Americans" ("Martin Luther King" 1). He wanted every person to have the same amount of freedom in world and for everyone to do things together. Racism separated the whites and the blacks from different water fountains, sports, and schools for example, "blacks were still forced to use separate public utilities and schools from the superior ones reserved for whites" ("Fighting For Equal rights" 1). While racism still in affection, mostly black people were killed or tortured, some of the African Americans died from starvation for example Martin Luther King mentions,  "Two-thirds of the peoples of the world go to bed hungry at night" (King 290); just as African Americans were killed in a higher rate during the Vietnam War. 

Dr. King was against war in which he publicly says that opposes the war on moral grounds and he is condemning the number of African American Casualties ("Vietnam War"). Dr. King mentions, "When people see more opportunities for better education and greater economic security  might not be better for themselves and for their children." (King 290), the point in today's society is a person does not have faith because of the unfair opportunities that are displayed for different people. The draft in the Vietnam War took away 40,000 young men each month leading to unfair opportunities for the people who were drafted. Dr. Kings says, "Every nation is an heir of a vast treasury of ideas and labor to which both the living and the dead of all nations have contributed." (King 292) every race cooperates peacefully with one another, then it would be a stronger nation, therefore, the war in unnecessary because it cause the nation to turn their backs on each other. 

It does not matter which race or if you are poor or rich, but all race helps another race in a specific way and rich and the poor helps in a specific way for example, "The agony of the poor impoverishes the rich; the betterment of the poor enriches the rich" (King 292). Dr. King uses thoughts to make everyone realizes that whether or not we relate in some way, we will continue to fight and not grow as a nation as Dr. King says, "Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly" (King 292). Dr. King only wanted what was right for our society and for the people who were treated unfairly. He wanted all protests to be non-violent; therefore, he believed that it could be a change in society through peace.  Dr. King was the leader of the non-violent movement and influenced society by getting people to believe in peaceful protest. During the Civil Rights Movement, "Police forces didn't hesitate to use violence against demonstrators and protestors, but in the face of their quiet civil resistance, the overblown physical techniques of force and brutality lost their power" ("How Did Martin"1). In Martin Luther King speech "The World House", he influenced people to joining the Peace Movement of the Civil Right Movement, which lead to the passing of the Civil Rights Act. 

Dr. King took the Peace Movement of Civil Rights and started it local then moves to national and then international. He inspired many international countries to fight injustice and to start a protest on their own that was involved; while others were joining the movement it also brought attention to the racial persecution in South Africa ("How Did Martin"1). The idea of peaceful movement to end the racial injustice and started to grow internationally. Dr. King started his speech locally and it had begun to spread very quickly. More people began to interact with what Dr. King had planned for them; then it became into a bigger movement that involved blacks and whites that wanted peace and equality.

"The World House" speech, wanted for Americans and the international people to be treated equally. Therefore, the Vietnam War brought a lot of attention to the racial persecution locally and internationally.  This speech changed people mind during the Civil Rights Movement to fight for the rights of equality and to get rid of the racial injustices. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. speech start from a grassroots campaign at a local level then rapidly grew nationally to the Civil Rights Movement then to an international level; which the united nations were trying to figure out how deal with. Meanwhile, while Dr. King was making changes everyone soon began to start to listen to him. He did what no one would ever think could happen and changed the entire world. Overall, the change in society became big for the racial injustices in states. However, Dr. King's dream became one of the biggest speeches that changed the mind of all races about the violence in the war.
