Are you serious? Can you not think of something to say about one of the greatest people in history? How about you get on google and type Martin luther King? I think you may find there are a couple sites about him.

because the civil rights movement interests you and he is the prominant character

Be sure to explain all about the Civil Rights Movement. Describe his life and how you wish you were like him. General BS stuff.

He's saying the assignment was to CHOOSE a character...but he didn't, the teacher did...and then explain WHY he chose the character...which he DIDN'T.

I'd say do this...start the paper with "I was assigned this character by Mr. _____" and in doing some thinking and research, I discovered ___".

Be sure to go through and make it into your own words, though. I was a teacher aide for my History teacher and I could not believe how many people just copied-and pasted stuff from the internet. Half of the idiots were so lazy they had URL's at the bottoms of their pages. Can you say dur DUH dur?

[mv540]

lol, no i will writw it in my own words...this teacher specially is vey strict, 0 tolerance of doing just copy paste.

[xtraking]

do someone who is not known by the average american but still known. Like general Patton, or someone like that.

Is it a research paper? If so all you have to do is copy and paste word for word, then cite it properly in text and on a works cited. The worst your teacher can say is you have no original thought.

you'd be suprised how much you can actually BS. What's the format of the paper? single or double spaced; intro, # body's, concl.? Like bigred said, just paraphrase the info you find and make sure to do it to everything you find and you'll be done with it in no time.
