On August 23, 1968, Martin Luther King pitch in his speech in titled “I Have a Dream”. The talk is about his dream on racial discrimination and injustice to people of color. He summarized how the people in the African-American community lived their life in America in which white supremacy exist and that they experience police violence and other forms of injustice.
Nowadays, I believe that there is still a trace of racial discrimination and injustice to people of color; however, it is not as worst as hundred years ago. In his speech, he talks about diversity in which he emphasized that he dreamed about people are living together regardless of their color and ethnicity. The author talks about his experiences as part of the people of color community in which injustice and racism is visible. He talks about the future generation in which he referred as his kids will be living a better life – a life with peace, equal and freedom.
I believe that the author’s dream has become reality now as we are all living with unity and we understand each other whether we are white or a person of color. Even the fact still remains that there are still racism, discrimination and injustice, it is minimal and majority of the population are now embracing diversity. And I strong believe and agree when he said, “And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.” (King, 1968) This statement has strike me the most and I know that a great nation is a nation of united people regardless of their race. We have to move forward together, so our country will become stronger.
