King still King?
…I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little 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.
I have a dream today…
~Dr. Martin Luther King, August 28, 1963
These are the words of the speech we all know and have heard, bout how relevant are they still today?
In the year 2011, these words and Dr. King’s ideas are still relevant today. Over forty years ago he spoke these of equality and getting rid of discrimination. The words he spoke are still ones we need to abide by.
We all have to continue to live in a world were it does not matter what gender, the color of skin, etc. you are. We still have to live as one nation and one society. His words still play a part in how we as a nation function today.
As the days, months, and years go by, Dr. King’s words are still heard and read all the time. His speeches and teachings still influence us today to act as one. His words are always in our minds and how we need to be see the person by their personality, not the color of their skin.
No matter how many years go by, his words will still be very important and relevant to us as a nation.
