Billy Graham was apart of the civil rights movement in 1952. He was also a preacher at
a first Baptist Church. How he did the movement was he would use the word of Christ.
He would protest UNASHAMED is how he put it, spreading the word and showing
how the world could be a better place with no racialism. He traveled almost all over
the United States; he had the King help him with some of his speeches. Mr. King gave
him tips and advice on how to preach to the blacks and the whites at the same time.
Christianity is what they based off half over the things they preached about and told
people in their speeches.
They showed people that God doesn’t look at the outside of you that he looks at the
inside of you. Color doesn’t matter when it came to Christ is what Billy Graham would
say. Both sides of black and white we finally seeing eye to eye when it came to God
and the Gospel. Billy and the King had shown the world that there is more to life than
worrying about people’s color and race. He was widely known as the person who
brought most people into Christianity and stopped most of the racism in his area. He
showed people that all Christians have each others backs and it doesn’t matter about your
color or who you are.
The more Billy preached and was put into the speeches; he was changing the lives of
thousands of people through the Gospel. He had almost up to a thousand people in his
church wanting to hear the word of God. Blacks and white came from all over the place
just to hear what Billy had to say about the Gospel and on color. All the civil rights
rallies he attend most people want to he the word. King was one of the biggest helps that

more he does for others really work for him and changes he’s life and the lives of others.
Readers of Walker’s Appeal can clearly see that his Methodist background provided Walker with a stable ground of moral beliefs, which, despite conflicting perspectives, enabled Walker to firmly convey the messages he intended to communicate.

HOST: Dr King, tell us how did you get the world to see the struggle of black America?
In the first half of Theology 104, we went over many different topics. All these topics gave me a wonderful and better understanding of Theology and Christianity. I got a better understanding of Jesus claiming to be God, as well as our character development and how it plays a very vital part of our lives as Christians. By asking Jesus into our lives, we will be highly rewarded. For this I am
Christian faith gave Martin Luther King Jr. the language and spiritual strength to fuel and sustain his extraordinary efforts in justice, peace and freedom. (Raushenbush) Martin Luther King's religious faith made him one of the greatest American Civil Rights leaders of the 1960s, however he was not the Christian man people believed him to be. Despite his tremendous flaws, King’s faith impacted his leadership and actions during the Civil Rights movement.
He has saved the world from being plunged into slavery, and secured for us the right to live life as we please. The first time, he organised an army by his lonesome within a day to stop the evil forces who roamed free, pillaging anything that they came across. He then led the battle, not one to sit in a command tent and throw around orders, while his friends put their lives at risk.

King traveled the country making speeches and inspiring people to become involved in the Civil Rights Movement. He organized non-violent student sit-ins and fought for the rights of the black population. In his speech, he proclaimed a free and better nation of equality and that both races, the blacks and the whites, should join together to achieve common ground and to support each other instead of fighting against one another. King’s vision is that all people should be judged by their “personality and character and not by their color of skin”(‘I Have a Dream”). All the points he made in his speech were so strong that lots of people were interested in his thoughts. He dreamed of a land where the blacks could vote and have a reason to vote and where every citizen would be treated the same and with the same justice.
"This is the Hour of Decision with Billy Graham, coming to you from Minneapolis Minnesota" Billy Graham, has preached to more than 210 million people through a live audience, more than anyone else in history. Not only that, but Mr. Graham has reached millions more through live televison, video and film. This has led Billy to be on the "Ten Most Admired Men in the World" from the Gallup Poll since 1955 a total of thirty-nine times. This includes thirty-two consecutive more than any other individual in the world, placing him as the most popular American for about forty years. This essay is going to talk about Graham's personal life, and what kind of family he grew up in and im also going to talk in detail about how he became an evangelist, because I feel it is very important yet interesting. His accomplishments in the fifties are uncomparable, so I will be including a considerable amount of information concerning that topic. Finally I will be talking about his personal achievements, books written, and how he has been a companion to some of the American Presidents.

At age eighty, he keeps fit by swimming, playing with is nineteen grand children, and from aerobic walking, in the mountains of North Carolina, where he currently lives. (Billy Graham Best Sellers, 1999) Billy Graham told Time Magazine in one article about his life before becoming a preacher. "I lived on a farm. The only difference was I had to get up early in the morning and go milk cows. When I came back from school that day, I had to milk those same cows. There were about twenty cows I had to milk. By hand. That was before they had those machines. I loved being a farmer. But God called me to this work that I'm in now. I knew it was God calling. I said, "Yes. I will follow what God wants me to do." And so I went to two or three schools to get education.
