He fought for a world where there would be no more segregation and no more disparity between the ways blacks are viewed compared to that of whites.

Throughout history there has always been testimony of the consciousness of injustice, and homage paid those individuals who are cognizant and inquisitive enough to challenge those injustices. Most often these injustices survive due to society’s unwillingness to go against the grain, the lack of knowledge, the lack of the pursuit of knowledge, and fear of the repercussions of challenging such injustices. Frequently, those individuals recognized in history are those who evoked change with a pure heart, perseverance, determination, passion, and demonstrate selflessness by cultivating entire societies, at any cost. Specifically, in comparing human rights activist, Martin Luther King Jr. and Greek Philosopher, Socrates, understanding the overall purpose each of their journey’s these men ultimately shared a common goal.

Just as other civil rights leaders such as Rosa Parks, Dr. King felt that it just wasn’t fair that the black people was segregated from the white people.

On this day, Martin Luther King Jr. presented his well known I Have a Dream speech that aimed to eliminate racism, inequality and discrimination. He strongly believed that one day people would put their differences aside and come together. So, what happened to that dream? Along with other equality initiative ideas, they rarely make it past the idea stages or end in the actual eradication result. It is clear to us that even after 51 years, our societies still struggle with accepting full equality. Within those 51 years we have made a mass amount of progress but, a common thought would be that after this long the issue should have been eradicated.
