Blog #16- I Have A Dream

Martin Luther King, Jr. was a great leader in American history. He will always be remembered through his legacy and his famous powerful speech of “I Have A Dream”. He spoke about how America was not respecting African Americans and how we needed to change. All they want is what we all have- which is equality and freedom. How they want to be able to walk the streets without people looking weird at them and how they want to stop feeling ashamed and feeling pity amongst them. Dr. King had a great message and although he was killed before he ever got to know how big of an impact he is message was, I’m sure he’s looking down from heaven smiling because he knows that he was a big reason why America has changed and is know as the Melting Pot. He would be so proud to know that racism, although still exists, has dramatically been improved and he was a major reason for that improvement.
