Someone Please Help - Civil Rights Movement History Paper - All help welcome?

I would argue that the collective contributions INCLUDED Martin Luther King as well! Without all these different individuals he certainly would have had a very,very much more rough time. My thesis would be that without all these individual people trying to obtain equal rights at this time,one person such as MLK could have been throttled in his quest and perhaps wouldn't have had the world`s attention.Martin Luther King was a great Orator and was very brave for always standing in the forefront during marches but the Rosa Parks and common men and women had little if any protection or media watching to see if any harm came to them! In the end the black race knew those laws were wrong and stood against them even at risk of bodily harm and even death.Thus a collective of many including Martin Luther King changed segregation and Jim Crow laws at great peril to themselves so that future generations could have what they never had to that point--true freedom! That to me is the most heroic and is all inclusive.
