His most famous speech was “I Have A Dream”, around a quarter of a million patrons, black and white, attended this empowering speech at the March on Washington on August 28, 1963.

When I joined the NAACP, I never could have imagined Thurgood Marshall, the head Special Counsel ("Thurgood Marshall"), would bring me into the biggest case of my career. In my times at Northeastern University Law School, I had written countless papers on the Supreme Court decisions preceding Brown v.

Political activist and revolutionary, Huey Percy Newton, was born on February 17, 1942 in Monroe, Louisiana. In 1945, Newton’s Family moved to Oakland, California, in efforts to find new job opportunities. As a result of World War Two, the area around Oakland seen much industrial growth. However, racism in Oakland was no different than the racism in Louisiana. As a teenager in Oakland, Newton had a long history of trouble with the law and consistently struggled in school. Newton often found school difficult;later on stating in his autobiography, Revolutionary Suicide, that he was often “made to feel ashamed of being black.” As a result, Huey frequently got into trouble with school authorities and was suspended on numerous occasions.

In African American history, we know of Dr. Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, and Malcolm X. We know of Dr. Martin Luther King who dreamed that one day black people would not be judged by the color of our skin, Rosa Parks, who inspired the Montgomery bus boycott by simply saying no, and Malcolm X, who exhorted blacks to cast off the shackles of racism by any means necessary. Many people are aware of these great leaders, though several are not acknowledged by the impressive works of Huey P. Newton.

“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality...I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.” These famous words by the honorable Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. best capture his frame of mind and the hopes he once held for the African American people during his fight for civil rights. King was an activist, pastor, and strong leader whose actions played an integral role in the advancement of the African American people as a whole. Born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1929, King spent the overwhelming majority of his life leading the African American Civil Rights Movement by using his very effective non-violent approach. Based off of his strong Christian beliefs, King led a multitude of boycotts, protests, marches, and speeches over the course of his life. These include the Montgomery Movement as well as one of his most famous speeches, the “I Have A Dream” speech.

Civil Rights’ Activist, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in his speech, “I Have a Dream” argues that African-Americans are fighting for equal rights and Martin Luther King uses many resources of language to promote his message of equality. He supports his claim by first using rhetorical appeals to promote his message of equality and the using imagery to create depth in his message of equality. Martin Luther King’s purpose is to inform and describe the segregation that was going on in the U.S. in order to help African-Americans gain their equal rights. He creates a hopeful tone for African-Americans and people who wanted everyone to have equal rights.

August 28, 1963 (Eidenmuller) marked a very important day in history that had an impact not only on America, but the whole world. On this day, Martin Luther King Jr. presented his well known I Have a Dream speech that aimed to eliminate racism, inequality and discrimination. He strongly believed that one day people would put their differences aside and come together. So, what happened to that dream? Along with other equality initiative ideas, they rarely make it past the idea stages or end in the actual eradication result. It is clear to us that even after 51 years, our societies still struggle with accepting full equality. Within those 51 years we have made a mass amount of progress but, a common thought would be that after this long the issue should have been eradicated. Two essays that can be used as an example of proof that racial inequality still exists in our society are, Black Men in Public Spaces by Brent Staples and Who Shot Johnny? by Debra Dickerson. In these essays, both provide solid evidence to support their main goal with the use of different writing styles, tone, and rhetorical devices to display how African Americans are perceived and treated by society.

Marin Luther King Jr. was a great inspiration to African Americans all over the world. He spoke publicly about what he strongly believed in. I believe his experiences as a child and accomplishments as a young man shaped him as an adult.
