Has His Dream Finally Come True?

        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.
