  Thursday :

  Objective: react to the "I Have A Dream" speech.

        Dr. King was expressing his opinion on how him, and his fellow negro's are treated. They were never granted complete freedom, but only away from slavery. His powerful words spoke to all people who heard them and made them understand the freedoms that average white people take for granted. Negros at that time were not allowed to sit in the front of the bus, or drink from the same water fountains, or even go to a white school.
      African-Americans earned less than whites. We were divided. Dr. Martin Luther King brought it to the nations attention that they were no longer going to accept being mistreated for only the reason that their skin was different. He wasn't only speaking for the negros, but as one who knows the difficulties. King was not asking for anything but respect and equallity.
