Here is the work we did yesterday in R.E. What can we learn from Oscar Romero and Martin Luther King?

Oscar Romero

Oscar Romero was born 1917-1980 in El Salvador in central America. He became a priest in 1942 and became a Archbishop in 1977. He was aware that the wealth of the country was in the hands of a small number of families. Archbishop Romero came to see that the law of the land was unjust and evil. He saw no reason to obey these laws. Even though public meetings were forbidden, he encouraged public to do so. He demanded explanation from the government about murder of certain priests. He called on church leaders to become the voice of the poor. He said:"The world that the church must serve is the world of the poor."It was very clear to all that he was on the side off the poor and those suffering injustice. He allowed a radio station to be set up in the office of the cathedral, which would broadcast the injustice of the government and the powerful wealthy class. When it was Sunday mass, Oscar Romero was murdered in march 1980 by a bullet.

Martin Luther King: By Kieran & Joe

Martin Luther King was a brilliant man, he was an inspiration to millions of people and changed the world for the better. He was born on the 15th January 1929-and died April 4th 1968.

He was a black Baptist minister and was a voice for all the black people in America who were being treated really badly. Because he was Christian, he did not just think about his work for helping millions of people, but he did it for god too. Lots of people, including himself, believed in him as he lead the civil rights movement. He died for what he believed in, and his only dream was to make this a better world. Since then, racism has gone down, but still people of all races are being discriminated against. We all have to work hard and stop this once and for all!

We need justice in our lives or nothing would be fair. Injustice is when someone is being nasty for no reason. Injustice is still going on everywhere in the world. We need to stop any injustice like bullying. Many people are trying to stop injustice in our world. By Owen
