MLK was an important aspect for the black ethnicity. He and many other leaders made a path for black people. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be able to attend Episcopal as I do today. Black people wouldn't be able to do a lot of things as they would today in world. This generation of African American need help. Some of us just aren't living up to what MLK nor God would approve. I notice that white and black people use the word "nigga" freely now. We should know not to say that because we have came a longggg way to go back to where we've started.

I Have A Dream...
I began to watch the Martin Luther King Jr. speech because it was the day that he gave it to the world 50 years ago. To start off, the introduction music sunk me in. I don't know why, but it just did. I noticed for the first time how they introduced him to the stand how even white people were clapping for him. I thought that they despised him and black people at the time... Well most of them. I mostly observed white people in the audience. Another shocker to me. During the whole speech I was engaged. I usually zone out of many things.

I totally agree. I am so thankful for the work of MLK. I wouldn't be as privileged as I am. Thank you Martin Luther King.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Azzie. I was impressed at the interracial audience for the speech as well. I realized last week that I had read the whole speech before and we see little clips of it all the time, but I had not seen/heard the whole thing, and listening to it and watching from beginning to end was a quite different experience from just reading the text.
ReplyDeleteAzzie. That was awesome. Seeing someone standing up for all races throwing the slang "nigga" around. I do not approve of that word being tossed freely.
