Martin Luther King Jr. argued passionately and powerfully during his speech. He talked about racial discrimination and unequal rights of the blacks. He spoke about how blacks were brutally abuse by the police, abuse by slave-owners and look down on as nothing. Martin

But yet after all that fight and march his dream came through. The march meant a lot and was very important to the people in the 1960s because they were empowered to stand up for their rights and freedom. The “I Have a Dream”, impact us today in a very positive away because now all Americans have equal rights and freedom. Martin Luther King speech will always be a speech that is memorable to everyone because of the powerful words and passion that he put him his speech which leads to the equal right and freedom of Americans.

Lyndon Johnson spoke to the college graduates about education and achieving their goals.
In his speech Great society he stress the point that “The Great Society is a place where every child can find knowledge to enrich his mind and to enlarge his talents.” He explain that The Great Society is a place to achieve their goals and man can renew contact with nature and not a place to rest. They should be in a challenge towards their destiny. At the end of his speech ask the crowd if they will join in the battle to give every citizen the full equality, escape from poverty and live in peace. The Great Society was to bring equal rights and freedom in college and school. This meant a lot and was very important to the college student in the 1960s because it encourage them to move forward and achieve their goals. This speech impact us today because those words of encouragement is still needed for our college student even now. Listening to the speech I felt encourage myself so it had an impact on me also.

. The “I Have a Dream” by Martin Luther King Jr and “The Great Society” By Lyndon Johnson was similar because they bought gave a word of encouragement to the crowd. The difference between the speeches are, Martin Luther King Jr speech was to the nation, he spoke more about racial discrimination and what he want to see in the future for the African Americans, which was freedom and equal rights. Lyndon Johnson speech was to the university, which was a smaller crowd then Martin Luther King Jr. He talked about what the college student can do to advance and achieve their goals to make a great society. Which also include equal rights of every student in the universities. The Martin Luther King Jr, spoke about racial discrimination against African American. His dream was for all men to be equal and have freedom. Lyndon Johnson, spoke about the great society which is a place where college students will achieve their goals. I personally feel that both men have a positive impact on society today because of their great work and achieve that allow all Americans to have Equal rights and freedom. As Lyndon Johnson would say “If future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than sorrow, we must achieve more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created, not just as it looked when we got through with it.”
