Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. changed the lives of millions of people by bringing justice to minorities.|||I don%26#039;t think that there are any errors in your essay but you jump between ideas a little by trying to express so much.

A hero is anyone whose good deeds inspire greatness in others and benefits all more than their own good%26quot; are good definitions but I think if you save all definitions to the end, your dissertation would be easier to read and have a better conclusion.
