I Have a Dream, By Martin Luther King Jr.
ANNOTATION
Notes
Both the Declaration of Independence and the Emancipation Proclamation were signed to give the right to freedom and Life of happiness, but not being with held as promised of the government because of Racism.
Stated by Martin that in order to attain freedom, the people must with hold and live out the meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." Meaning to say that freedom will be attained if we have come to accept our differences and only to accept that in the end, we are all created by God equally, only then shall we take arms and fight for freedom.
Important Passages
As Martin said, We cannot walk alone, and as we walk we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead, We cannot Turn back
SUMMARIZATION
To summarize what Martin said, racism in general is a chain that binds us from each other, preventing us from reaching out to one another as human beings created by God.
To define his dream, it means to break the shackles of racism in every part of the world, he dreams of becoming a nation of one stated by him " This is our hope, and this is the faith that i go back South with." He also mentioned in his dream that we must allow freedom to ring out every inch of the world so we are able to join hand in hand and say "We are free at last, Thank God Almighty we are finally free!"
QUESTIONS
- The Emancipation Proclamation, a decree suppose to free the black slaves from cruelty and the pain of injustice was signed back in 1963, however, how come a hundred years have passed according to Martin that the blacks are still suffering from the unjust racism? Meaning to say that are we, as humans have a fixed mindset on different races? stereotypes?
- In addition, the Declaration of Independence was signed in the promise of all Americans, both blacks and whites. will gain unalienable Rights of Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness. If that is the case, then how come the vast majority of the people are still suffering, namely the blacks?
- Is it possible to give freedom to the people who are suffering solely by us? the Individuals?
- By saying that the blacks have a bad check, making them marked with "Insufficient funds" could be the problem that is stopping us to help them? Is it solely on money?
