Blog 3 newsworthy


There are not many new things about my topic because he is not very recent in life and has been dead for many years now but his effect is still lasting because of the amazing work he dis while he was at work.  Martin luther changed many american life's and his effects are still around today as in there is no segregation to your race or color of skin or anything.  There is  separate whites and blacks for anything.  Slavery does not exist like it dis back then and anyone can get a job anywhere.  People believe martins dream still live's because the world has changed. Surely his dream would not be alive if everything had went back to normal but no! It has not gone back it has stayed the same!   People are at a all time of getting along and helping one another.  Martin had so many,lasting effects with everything that he did and his influential speeches and letters all have a lasting effect that makes martins  dream still thrive today

"On Monday January 21st, America celebrates Martin Luther King Jr. Day. And as this day is approaching I started to wonder if his dream is still alive today with us or our children? With so much violence, degradation and no worries of human life, it appears that we as Christian people have gotten away from teaching our children how we should stand together as people, support each other, respect each other and truly love one another.

We seem to have given up. Which is so far from what Dr. King stood for. Don't get me wrong, it's hard raising God fearing children these days and I would hope and pray that we teach our children how to live right and do right by all people. But somehow with the "hip-hop" generation of "bling-bling," fast times and violence, this dream has been lost, but not forgotten.

I say, don't give up because the one thing that appears to have brought our children together today is with hip-hop and new age music that the 1960's music also accomplished in our day. Even though our generation may not fully understand today's version, I believe Dr. King's dream is in there somewhere.

"I have a Dream Speech" "I have a dream that my four little 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. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made straight and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."(Wanda bell).
