Social Justice Hero: Gandhi
Who do you think deserves a national holiday? I think Mohandas Gandhi deserves a national holiday. He did many things to help the people around him. He protested against many civil rights showing leadership, ambition, and wise thoughts.
First of all, Gandhi should have a national holiday because he is a leader. He led the Indians into a war for their independence from the British. Also he led to ease poverty, women rights, and brotherhood among all religions. For all the civil rights he protested showing leadership he deserves a holiday.
Second of all, Gandhi should have a holiday because he is ambitious. When he was leading the war with the Indians he didn’t back down. He didn’t let anybody get in his way to achieve something even when he is thrown to jail. Showing ambition Gandhi achieves what he had to do.
Third of all, Gandhi deserves a holiday because he is very wise. Gandhi knows what is right from wrong because when the British mistreated the Indians and he wanted that to stop. Gandhi inspired the Indians to fight for their independence without violence. Therefore, he deserves a holiday because he is very wise, he use his brain to figure out the problem.
All in all, Mohandas Gandhi was a great man who fought for civil rights of India showing leadership, ambition, and wise thoughts this is why he deserves a holiday. He made a change to the world and you should too. Like Mohandas Gandhi once said “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
