Martin Luther King Jr.
gave his famous ‘I Have a Dream ‘ speech in March, 1963 at the Lincoln
Memorial, in Washington D.C with a crowd of about two hundred thousand civil
rights supporters listening. His speech was about how one day he wished that
everyone would share the same vision of equality that he did. Despite the
passing of the Emancipation Proclamation by Abraham Lincoln, MLK felt that the
Negro community in America was continuously being oppressed and endured
suffering. He encouraged the Negro’s to rise and walk with the whites with the
goal that one day they would live happily in a world where all men were truly
created equal. The fight for equality had already begun so there was no turning
back. MLK hoped that one day there would be no more segregation and the his
children would not be "judged by the color of their skin, but by the content
of their character."Saturday, January 18, 2014
