Dr. Martin Luther King's Dream Of Racial Equality

“One day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers,” stated Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in his famous speech. Loads of different groups of people live with each other to make a unique community. Our differences should only lift us up, not tear us apart as various people do with racial inequality. As we follow in his footsteps on the path to equality, we must remember what he did that made him that meaningful and memorable in the Civil Rights act, which has tried to stop inequality. He was an extremely influential man to innumerable people not just Americans, because he promoted peace and equality by nonviolent protests and inspires others

to do likewise. We can do innumerable operations in our community or school to show more equal to everyone one of us.

Many of you that are reading this may have heard about the Letter of Birmingham Jail, a famous document written by Martin Luther King. Even though the police and others were unfairly and falsely accusing him of planning to in some time in the future have a violent protest and arrested Dr. King for something that had not and likely would not have occurred, he continued to still show his disapproval of their biased beliefs nonviolently and didn’t resort to violent, awful, or cruel methods. He instead wrote a letter that today is famous to further show he was against these cruel segregating manners of many citizens; which is still going on in our day, all these many, many years later. Tons of other people would have been so angry, the words probably could not describe the feeling. But Dr. King even discouraged those angered to carrying out violent actions in objection to the discriminating ways of the general public, which shows Dr. King not only didn’t participate in violent protests, but also asked others who were on his side to do likewise . A college student from Pikes Peak Community College named Adrian Moore puts in his opinion concerning the letter, “King proves reason and kindness are a far more effective approach.” The march in Washington, D. C. is the one of the acclaimed marches that Dr. King participated in and spoke at in front of hundreds or thousands of people. That march was where he did his ultimately inspirational “I Have a Dream” speech that changed countless Americans views to equality and those of a different nationality. We can all change each others minds concerning racial discrimination if we try.

Nevertheless, Dr.

King serves as an inspiration to countless citizens, including me as he took on a ginormous problem in his life and tackles this dilemma. Today, racial discrimination is it’s known name; Dr. King didn’t admire the unfair inequality some people received even after the Civil War that was fought for no slaves and equality to everyone. “To that end, he traveled the world proclaiming his vision of the "beloved community," and defining racism as a worldwide evil.” (Martin Luther King’s Dream of Racial Equality) Dr. King knew the importance of the matter at hand and with his ever so powerful speeches, he motivates the entire world to do change something about the inequality. Wars today in other countries are often fought for religious freedom or other troubles that are about church. Racism is a worldwide problem that we can start solving little by little if we just choose to glance beyond skin color, religious beliefs, and other attributes that some people judge separate us to choose how we treat them based on their personality and overall how they are as a person. Dr. King’s inspirations also changed what others thought concerning equality, which shows he’s just as easily going to be an inspirational man to several people now and in the future of the

earth.

The national holiday we receive a day off to celebrate Dr. King and his very special cause occurs every third Monday of January; so the day can be close to his birthday. Since the holiday also helps us as equal people remember that we all can serve our own community to receive more equal, we should always be understanding and helpful, specifically to those who are bullied, made fun of, or teased for their different skin color, nationality, or religion. If someone teased you because your parents or you yourself were not from the country, but a country, maybe even half way across the world, you would probably wish for others to be there for you, to comfort you, and tell you that they are not right and we are all equal and the same as worth as human beings. We may not be able to make as large a difference as Dr. King or even remotely close to the largeness of his difference, but we can change how others judge and segregate concerning the topic. If you live in a certain town where the general public of the population expect that religion or race do matter and make other people different in not a good way, show them that it doesn’t matter in the overall worth of the person. Some people determine differently of others who have mental diseases, hearing-impaired, or have a problem with their legs which causes them to have a wheelchair. If you know someone who has a speech disorder, you probably would not realize anyone would be able to tease him just for that, but you should know people do that to others including those people who have the same or similar problem such as a lisp. Those who may not have the best of grades could be called dreadful names that describe them as not smart. The change can be your kindness of making the people described earlier feel as if those who are awful and rude to them are wrong and difference is good which will make all of the difference to them. Difference stands by good, but several use it for terribleness. It’s what makes our lives so much more interesting. If all of us were to be the same with the same color hair and color eyes and the same name, life would be all of the more boring, if you can put it that way.

To sum it up, Dr. Martin Luther King Junior believed and proved to countless citizens of America and maybe even the whole world that everyone was and is equal. Our skin color does not affect our worth as human beings and as Americans. Do not ever believe anything else that others say about how being different is a horrible thing. Help others recognize that we are all the same and if needed, show yourself that we are all equal, just as Dr. King taught. We are all the same just with various diverse people living in one community together, serving each other.
