Segregation Inequality And The Civil Rights Movement
What happened 52 years ago? What was going on 52 years ago? Segregation, Inequality and The Civil Rights Movement. 52 years ago on August 28th 1963 Martin Luther King Jr made his famous “I Have a Dream” speech. He did not change everything, but he changed a lot. Although some people believe equality is acquired, in reality it has not been achieved according to Martin Luther King Jr's dream. This is evident due to Martin's figurative language, diction, and effective lines. Martin Luther King Jr had a dream that “My 4 little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by their color of their skin, but the content of their character.” (Luther 20) In the world now kids are treated equal but boys and girls and men and
women aren't. For example male soccer players get around $20 million per year of playing soccer but female soccer players only get around $20,000 per year even when most female players are as good as the male players. At the time many people were not happy, and the declaration promises “A promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Yet the many people that were involved in the Civil Rights movement were not happy. This meaning that at the time nobody was following the acts of the Declaration of Independance. “Every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight” (Luther 24).
52 years ago every race, no matter your intelligence, and dignity was unequal and unfair. Now every race is equal but, are men and women are not equal. Saying that means Martin Luther's dream, along with thousands of other people's dreams are not complete. If men have a greater chance to getting most jobs worldwide why aren't women treated the same way. Women and men are created equal but not treated that way. Although some people believe equality is acquired, in reality it has not been achieved according to Martin Luther King Jr's dream.
