He orginizes a basketball camp and an All Star games for charity that is why he is a hero.

When Jackie Chan was born he was 2 months over then normal so that way he had to wait longer then usual to be born. When he was born his weight was 10 pounds that was big for a baby. His parents were going to adopt him because they didn’t have enough money to pay the hospital but with a help from their friends they were able to keep Jackie. Jackie grew up in Hong Kong until about the age of six when they moved to Australia. Jackie didn’t go to well at school in Australia so his parents sent him back to Hong Kong when he learn’t Martial Arts Singing and more. When Jackie first started out in movies he got small parts as an extra or being the stunt man. His first film was with Bruce Lee called Enter the Dragon. He gained more experience and that allowed him to take his acting career above. Jackie does more then good movies he opens foundations like the Jackie Chan Charitable Foundation in Hong Kong then in Japan.

Martin Luther King: This man stood up for all of the people with an inspiring speech about white people and black people because of racism. That made all the people think why are they doing this. The speech made white/black people live together. Unfortunately he was assenated.
