In the history of any great man, there is sometimes a single moment that unites that struggle and challenges the hearts of the people of that time that this moment becomes historic and mythical. In the long history of American Americans in South Africa, one such moment was the launch of the so-called "dream" speech during a landmark March in Washington in August 1963.
There are so many elements of this language that poetry has become one of the great texts of national history as well as the history of black people. That is why almost any schoolboy can say moving words in a speech that ...
So even though we are experiencing today and tomorrow difficulties, I still have a dream. It is a dream that is deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise and live the true meaning of its creed: "We take these truths to manifest themselves, that all men are created equal." I dream that my four youngest children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
What stands out about this text when you read the whole text is hope. And it is a wonderful tradition for all families to read this statement, perhaps on Martin Luther King's birthday, which is now a national holiday. Dr King urged his people to look up and look forward to tomorrow. But more than that, he called on all people to work together for a shared hope, the hope of achieving the American dream he talked about with so much love in his words.
The theme of the speech was on the stairs of the Lincoln monument, overlooking Congress, a swimming pool and the White House in the National Mall in central Washington D.C. the artists of this world and his deep love for the world also stemmed from the discourse.
But it is a statement of struggle because he spoke of the fact that black people in America had not yet lived in a free and equal environment with all citizens. Dr. King never stopped communicating with the reality of the difficult life of African Americans living in the United States. That is why this talk is well-formed and well presented. It incorporates the sad reality and determination of black leaders and the African American population to make the world a better place for them and their children in the hope and hope that this was a country that would not tolerate the oppression and discrimination that has kept blacks out. people down from slavery.
It was a speech that called for action during the "Now" period which was a call for action by many in the administrative houses of our country. They once took immediate action to rehabilitate a broken and repaired social welfare system. One of the outcomes of this speech was the landmark human rights law of 1964 that permanently changed the structure of the country to legal principles that established discrimination in all aspects of American life.
If it were not for the "I have a dream" talk, March in Washington that hot and humid August would be just one of many protests and human rights protests. Instead it was a historic moment in American and black history that transformed Dr. King into a national hero of blacks and whites alike and inspired the movement and the nation to take personal action and make things better for all.
