I Have A Dream

"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 think when he said the nation will rise up and live out it's true meaning he meant that America tends to flash freedom, but men weren't free and he wanted them to follow up on it.

He speaks of human equality and is very passionate about it, because it is one of the most important things to us humans. It was a horrible time for the African Americans and I think it is an awful thing to try to command what someone does when they should have a right to do it. Martin Luther King Jr. was the leader and a martyr for African American civil rights, and he was successful. He will always be remembered in American history. If not everyone is free, no one is.

The speech was given on August 28th, 1963 on the steps of the Lincoln memorial.

I think both boys should be tried for their crimes. Both of them knew what they were doing and they deserve the full consequence. I think sixteen is old enough to know not to beat an old war veteran to death. I think its good to keep their identities undisclosed because I think it would grieve the families even more, and appearances can cause some to be bias. Disregarding race or age it is a serious crime and they should have to pay for it.
