It is worth remembering

Hopefully, someday his dream will come true

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream that racism would end. He gave his famous “I Have A Dream” speech in Washington, D.C. It was during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963. He ended up giving his life for the cause of human rights. He tried to help people realize that racism is an injustice and is wrong.

Dr. King was an important figure in American history. He made an impact in his fight for civil rights. He is remembered now, but his dream may not be. It is worth remembering and fighting for, even so long after his death.

Being an ordained minister who did not like violence, Dr. King called on his followers to have peaceful demonstrations. He was jailed many times and was beaten. He was senselessly killed while he was trying to help his fellowmen. He was murdered in 1968 at the age of thirty-nine.

It has been over fifty years since that famous Dream speech by Dr. King. Racism has not ended. His children did not grow up in a world without racism, as he had hoped and dreamed. Racism comes to the forefront when an incident happens such as the killing of George Floyd. It becomes an issue for a while, and then it fades.

Many advancements have been made since Dr. King’s days of proclaiming that racism is wrong. Not enough changes have come about, and racism is still a huge issue of major concern.

It is time for society to once again remember and contemplate Dr. King’s dream speech and his life. We should not forget his efforts until justice is attained in the area of racism and civil rights.

Donald Trump can say that he is not racist, but his actions and words show that he can be considered as tending toward racism. He does not help with Dr. King’s dream of equality and justice. Other Republican leaders follow his lead.

Dr. King had a dream that racism would end. It should have happened by now. Fifty years is a long time. Racism continues. His dream needs to be remembered, and people should work hard to end racism.

People who believe, like Dr. King, that racism is wrong can help make the dream a reality. Life should be just and equitable as Dr. King envisioned.
