Stevie wonder c dragonwagon essay

My hero is Stevie Wonder, a musician who has overcome great obstacles. Stevie Wonder was born with the name Steveland Hardaway Judkins, on May 13, 1950 in Saginaw, Michigan. He was born four weeks before his due date and was placed in an incubator immediately.

After the campaign Stevie wrote Martin Luther King a song “Hotter Than July.” In 1983 Stevie bought an LA radio station called KHLH. Stevie was arrested in 1985 for demonstrating against apartheid outside the South African Embassy. He was willing to go to jail to stand up for the rights of others.

Stevie plays the keyboard, drums, harmonica, and percussion instruments. His inspiration for “I Just Called to Say I Love You” is that he wanted to get the message across that love is for all seasons and can always be expressed whether a holiday or just an ordinary day.

Stevie Wonder has used his enormous gifts to help us move toward the promised land. He was a valiant warrior against South African Apartheid, perhaps the greatest example in our lifetime about the power of dreams and moral fortitude.
