Today in class we were going over an interview of Dr. King speaking about his I Have A Dream speech. I've watched the I Have A Dream speech about 11 times in school, so class today was very familiar. One of the things that had me thinking was King's intentions with his speech and how it was perceived by the public. King wanted to wake everyone up to fight for the civil rights movement and increase awareness. This was not the reality of the outcome, but I often think about what King would say about our current stance on civil rights. I hope he's not too disappointed by certain aspects of our community; we can all work towards his goals.
