MLK Jr.'s Dream Of Equality Of Race

Martin Luther King Jr. (January 15, 1929 - April 4, 1968) was known as an activist and a remarkable leader for African Americans throughout the Civil Rights Movement.

According to Stott the “dream” of a multi-ethnic America outlined in Martin Luther Kings “I have a Dream’ speech is a Christian dream as well. He points to scriptural evidence that supports a society characterized by justice and harmony for all ethnic groups. I agree that this “dream” is shared by Christians and supported by the Bible. The Bible tells us that there is only one race, the human race. We are all made in the image of God. We are his “offspring” and he created us all as equals. Acts 17:26 says, “And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place”. Every nation was made from one man. This verse tells us that every human

When informing Americans across the nation of his dream, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. proposed an unforgettable speech that would one day change The United States of America forever. In analyzing “I Have a Dream”, there are a few rhetorical purposes that are reflected throughout. These purposes are repeatedly focusing in on a particular audience in which King speaks to.

The central claim of Dr. Kings argument is that, he felt as if Blacks were still classified as slaves. The emancipation proclamation was passed one hundred years prior, promised freedom and equal opportunity to all Americans that meant Blacks as well. That was supposed to be the end of slavery, yet Blacks were still forced to live under poor living conditions. Although they weren't actual slaves anymore, still Blacks were subjected to unethical treatment. Some of which were, being limited to resources such as education, good jobs, and good housing. They were segregated for those very reasons so that they could not persevere, in a country with next to no rights as an American citizen; due to the color of their skin and background. Dr. King

Oppression and injustice have been prevalent issues in society since the formation of this country. During the 1960’s, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a influential advocate for equal rights, especially in the South. He discussed possible solutions to such social issues in his speeches and essays. One essay, “Three ways of meeting oppression,” introduces acceptable solutions that can be seen as rational and ethical, as well as emotionally appealing. The significance of such solutions can not be refuted, although the techniques may have opposition. Overall, King contributed vital information benefiting the struggle against injustice within his essay.

MLK first establishes an Ethos to strengthen the arguments he is about to use. Since he is writing to religious leaders and scholars, he chooses to quote people they would have read in his letter. He uses the words of the scholars to strengthen what arguments he is making as well as condemn those who are choosing to stand by and allow unjust things to happen. He uses the religious leaders he quotes as a way of saying what he actually means. He is able to say that the laws are unjust by using Thomas Aquinas, “an unjust law is no law at all” is that human laws do not obligate when they bring injury and loss of character on human beings—when they oppress the poor and humble. Oppressive laws, presumably Aquinas taught, can be described as “perversions”

MLK Essay In the speech “The Purpose Of Education” MLK explains how some men take for granted the opportunity to expand their education.

Culture and society are fast to judge someone based on their education, especially in a man’s life.

"So ladies and gentlemen, I am officially running for president of the United States." Our current President-elect, Donald Trump, announced his candidacy on June 16th, 2015. If he follows through with all his plans, Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream for America, could very radically be changed. MLK’s dream of diversity and equality could become a reality of uniform color. We could soon be living in a country where instead of welcoming uniqueness and variation, people are denigrated and harassed for the color of skin. We may not be faced with the same issues regarding color Dr. King was faced with but this is not the dream of color I have for America and it is certainly not the dream Dr. King envisioned for America.

Segregation in a way is similar to bullying because it separates and allowed being hurtful and offensive to people because they were different, in Doctor King’s time stopping segregation the difference that people would use to separate or “bully” others was the skin color. The change that I will make in myself for the better is to stand up for people who are bullied.

Fear and prejudice are two significant factors that people let subdue their emotions and beliefs. Throughout history and all the way to current day, the people and groups who never surrendered to fear and prejudice were the ones who prevailed. With that, one should never surrender to fear or prejudice, regardless of the cost.

Why? What did the Black race do to deserve this? Martin Luther King Jr. knew that was happening in the daily lives of the Black community was not okay. He took a stand and used his preaching and public speaking abilities to try to make a change.
