On
August 28, 1963 Martin Luther King Jr., gave an influential speech on the steps
of the Lincoln Memorial. Martin Luther King Jr., started his speech with
the ever-powerful statement "I have a Dream". Throughout his timeless
speech he repeats this statement, thus bringing passion to the audience. His
dream was a day when all men are judged by the "content of their
character", a day when his black children could play with whites. His
speech was about treating some one differently just because of their race, age,
gender or any other characteristic that is insignificant and how that is inhume
and disgraceful. Mr. King alludes to the constitution when he says to the
audience, "all men are created equal", he by doing this means
that all black men and all white men are equal. He dreams of a day were
pervious wrongs have been righted, where previous slave owners would sit down
with there former slaves and have a civilized dinner. Mr. King had a powerful
dream that was herd by millions.
He is still remembered today and will
never be forgotten.
Happy
MLKJ Day America!
