OK I asked that there be a moratorium on political and social comments but with all of the social unrest over the killing of African-Americans and Police I just had to re-read one of the United States of Americas greatest orators speech, pleading and declaring that equal rights be given consideration by our Congress and the general population at a time in our Nations history where racism and injustice prevailed. I was a Junior in high school and remember hearing about this but I was living in an area of the U.S where bigotry and racism prevailed so it wasnt until later that I came to really understand the social ills that were being espoused in the huge demonstration, estimates of 200,000 + people in the peaceful protest in Washington, DC. Kings I have a dream speech is still relevant today. Read this and remember what it meant then and how it is still relevant now. americanrhetoric/speeches/mlkihaveadream.htm
