Trait #2: Contributes to Society in a Positive Way Supporting detail #1: Elected leader of the Montgomery Improvement Association in 1955 Analysis: Though he did not seek out the position of leader, he accepted it and led with grace and non- violence. He used his skills, including his ability to make powerful speeches, to help end the segregation of busses in Montgomery. He stepped up as a leader for the Civil Rights movement.
