How Did Martin Luther King Jr Dream Come True

Did Martin Luther King Jr.’s dreams come true?
A lot has changed since 1963 when Dr. Martin Luther King gave his famous speech “I have a dream”. There is still racism today all around the country. I personally don’t think his dreams have all come true yet.
Starbucks recently was involved in a case where two African American men went into a Starbucks store to use the restroom, the manager told them they had to purchase something or they had to leave. They were waiting for someone when the manager called the police who escorted the men out of the coffee shop. The question is was this because of their skin color, I like many people think it was because of their skin color. The company has taken actions to prevent this in the future “STARBUCKS OFFICIALS will close more than 8,000 U.S. stores on May 29 to conduct

racial-bias education in an effort to prevent discrimination at the company's coffee shops.”. Racism does not just occur in coffee shops.
Racism also occurs in the legal system, far more African Americans are pulled over, searched, arrested, and killed by police than white people are.

More unarmed minorities than white people are killed every year by police. Often these police are not convicted or prosecuted for use of force. Last year 987 people were killed by police and even more, people will likely be killed in 2018.
In March a man was fired for asking his boss to stop calling him boy. Dennis Bellamy who worked at Lee Partyka Chevrolet as a salesman believes that he was fired because he asked not to be called boy. Joe Gallagi, the general manager, reportedly called black employees and workers “boy” and “good boy”. Joe also said he would take away bonuses from any employee who didn’t like what Joe called them. Bellamy sued the company for civil rights violations. There are a few things that have changed.
One thing that I believe Martin Luther King would enjoy and be proud of is that all races of children go to school together. The kids all learn together, play together, and become friends even if they are different races. Children now can play together as he dreamed and fought

for.
Another one of Martin Luther King’s dreams that came true was that sons of slaves and sons of slave masters could sit together as friends. I believe that many people have friends with people that are not the same race as them. People see these friends with different races as no different than any other friends.
A thing Martin Luther King would not like today is the different amounts of pay for different races and genders. White men make 27% more money than African American men, while African American women make even less money at 35% less money than white men. Even white women make 18% less money than white men earn. Each year we get closer to gender and racial equality in wage, but this is not enough and we have to keep working to make these gaps no existent.
Martin Luther King Jr. was an amazing speaker and was a very smart man. He always used his words over force and preached about using nonviolent ways to get what you want in life. Martin Luther King also preached nonviolence not just in the United States but all around the world in disputes like the Vietnam war in 1967. He fought for equality between races and also women's rights. Sadly Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis Tennessee. I believe that we should still fight for what he believed in such as racial equality, not judging a person by their skin color but by how they act and what they believe in, also practicing nonviolence and peaceful protest. I don’t think we fully made his dreams come true but we can by continuing to do these things.
