He had wanted to help shape the world in order for his children to grow up in a safe place. He had delivered his famous “I have a dream” speech that day in from of so many. And his words had touched the hearts of blacks and whites alike. “The march, he said that day in Washington, was not an end; it was but a beginning. We live in a world King helped create. We do not yet live in the world he helped all of us dream of.” (Meacham J, Rhodann M. One Man.) Years to come after King’s death, things had still been going how he had wanted them.

One Man). His goal of the march was to get so many more involved, and to have them understand why he wants us to work together to overcome our differences. He had the goal of having us all love one
