Martin Luther King's Broken Dream"I have a dream" is a phrase heard by more than 200,000 Americans on August 28, 1963 and, since then, Martin Luther's dream King Jr. "I have a dream" has resonated in millions of heads and thoughts around the world. The eyes seek the reality of his dream, the ears seek the sound of the bells of freedom, the hands seek the hand of a brother and the mouths seek the songs of freedom. Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed of a utopia in which the colors of black and white would become so intertwined that shades of gray would appear. Martin Luther King, Jr. charged the American people to strive and create a perfect place, and many people have tried, but as long as antiquated moral values ​​remain, America will never fully wake up from the nightmare of racism and enter the dream of equality. Of course, not all race relations today are a nightmare; Americans have managed to overcome some of their petty prejudices and prejudices. During the 1960s, blacks were forced to ride in the back of buses, blacks were forced to stay away from whites, blacks were forced to stand aside among whites, and blacks were commonly subjected to disrespect and considered despised. as inferior. Because of segregation there were different schools, different fountains, different restaurants and different residential areas. A black man was not encouraged to rise in society, but instead was constantly hit with the words "you are inferior" by the white man. Because of these practices, civil rights movements began to occur and people like Martin Luther King, Jr. began to speak out against injustices towards blacks. The civil rights movement accomplished several things: In today's society secrecy... middle of paper... was taught intentionally; no matter how much I try to remove the dark soot from my brain, the stain remains. These stains remain throughout society as long as these thoughts and feelings remain in people's minds. King dreamed that "one day [his] four children will live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." But as long as white people continue with their innate practices, this will never happen: there are bad opinions about a black and white couple, there has never been a black president, there are very few black students and teachers at McCallie, and there are no 'It's not a single black family in my neighborhood. Yes, there is equality, but only between black and white Barbie dolls. King tells us to "let freedom ring from Tennessee's Lookout Mountain," but we fall short of such a high expectation.
