"I Have A Dream"
By: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
In 1963 one of America’s most powerful figures wrote a speech named "I Have A Dream". In this powerful speech, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. talks about the future with black and white coming together to make a whole. That was one of his most important dreams to see everyone come together as one. Everything about the speech "I Have A Dream" is exciting and very unique. Dr. King gave this speech in Washington D.C. on August 28, 1963 in front of 250,000 people. I feel he gave the speech to show everyone that no matter what color you are, and no matter what background you come from, you are who you are and nothing can change. Most importantly it’s the inside of you that counts the most.
When he gave the speech, it was more powerful than anything before because Dr. King finally accomplished his dream. "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men were created equal." Even though whites and blacks still argue and disagree, there is much less hatred for one another. We have learned how to come together; not all of us have learned that, but most of us have. Another reason why this speech is unique is that there hasn’t been anyone else to come up with a speech like that and give it in front of thousands and thousands of people.
After a while some white people started to see that the way life was going back then was crazy and insane. They wanted what Dr. King wanted, a world a peace. Not all white people felt like that; some didn’t want black and white together at all, but some just wanted to be free of hatred and racism. "I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character". Martin Luther King Jr. did accomplish his dream even though he wasn’t alive to see it happen, but it did. I’m not saying that there’s no racism, but whites and blacks have come a long way in life because of Dr. King.
"Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last". In my opinion this means that slavery has ended and soon we as different races and as different skin will come together as a whole. We will join hands, and finally be able to love who we want, be friends with who we want and be free to walk into a restaurant and not have to go to the back. Yes! Yes we are free last, just like Martin Luther King Jr. said
