It has been a total of fifty long years
since Martin Luther King, Jr. made his speech in Lincoln Memorial at Washington
D.C. He was an activist, and the leader of the African-American Civil Rights
Movement who was known for using non-violent actions for the advancement of
civil rights.
On August 28, 1963 MLK was able to
deliver an unforgettable speech about freedom and inequality. He bravely voiced
his dreams of having equality between the black and white people, hoping that
all the racism and discrimination would stop. King, together with his followers
called for freedom without any delays. However, he still wished to obtain his
goals without violent actions.
It is true that the act he made fifty
years ago made a lot of Americans see some sense but has his dream of having a unified
country finally come true? If you try to ask me, I would probably say no.
The degree of disparity in their
country may have declined since the day King delivered his speech though as far
as I can see, they are still far from being a racist-free society. His dream up
until now may have not entirely come true but I believe that in time people
will change for the better in order to reach the dream he once dreamt.
