Well, this video is elated with the fact that black people are not treated like white people. They are still trough out from the society and trough into its margins. Martin talks about the violence and the harmony that we have to have while living with people who have different cultures, colors or anything.It is a very interesting video because it talks about what we supposed to do to live in peace.

I think the speech by martin Luther was fantastic, was very well prepared, and I think he did a critique of racial discrimination not only in the United States, as the speech goes for all nations that are racially unfair, I think he did his speech at a crucial moment, where he managed to educate, inspire and inform, not just people who were there, but also people throughout the U.S. and other generations who had not even born.

The video only shows the speech,it should show the context in the USA and the effect of this speech.This speech is famous because it shows the reality of segregation in the USA and gives its message full of metaphors and in a not boring way using his spectations and dreams

Such an informative video, I totally agree with this video. It expresses the feeling that black people feel by others. No group or skin color is better than another. Respect is what our society need, M.L. King fought for that.

Martin Luther King fought for a better life for the afro decendents. His ideas are alive until today. He was a man with honor that fought for a good deal. One example of his peace ideas is his Peace Nobel Award.

Martin Luther King is a legend, he is an example of guts and perseverance. The men who fought for black rights, against discriminate or stereotypes. Nowadays we should practice more what he taught the world, respecting the differences and accepting people how they are, for a peace earth, a better place to live and grow our children.

In 1963, washington it was when and where the speech take place.
Because the negros need justice and M.L King won´t stop until figth and get what he want, he and black people want. Citizenship right for the negros to live a normal and dignity life. He was an example of dreams can be true. Just belive and never give up on hope.

This video is really great because it shows how important it is to treat people as the same, don't matter the skin colour, no one is better than anyone.

I wish Martin Luther King`s speech had, in fact, set the Negro free. It is such a shame that still today, 50 later his epic and beautiful words, there is still racism.

Gabriel disse...

Its beautiful to see someone defending the black peoples rights even when he could be easily mordered. Martin Luther King was a amazing black peoples lawyer. This speech should be remebered for ever.
