Knowledge The most significant aspects of our conversation was to me mostly everything, because this was a person who live through most of his life. When you get the chance to make history within the population of blacks in the south to have equal rights. From boycotts to marches and getting the chance to meet Dr. King and walk with him and just because he had obstacles he overcame them and had a dream and made it come true. Process Presentation
