He wrote a dream big essay discussing the importance of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech in providing a turning point for racial discrimination in America and reminding people of the meaning of justice. The speech described the demonstration for freedom as the greatest in the nation's history and expressed King's dream, making Americans feel guilty about their proclaimed values of freedom and equality. Effects of the speech today include decreased segregation and tension between races, as schools are no longer segregated by race or color and America elected its first African American president.

    Dream Big Essay

    When hearing the word dream, the dictionary definition a series of


    thoughts, images, and sensations in a persons mind during sleep (Merriam-Webster
    Dictionary) usually comes to mind. Although this is very true, there is another type
    of dream that will be discussed today. The same type of dream Dr. Rev. Martin
    Luther King, Jr. had in mind. In his most famous speech, the I Have a Dream speech,
    proved to be one of the most important speeches given. I believe that the
    importance of the I Have a Dream speech by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is that it
    provided not only the turning point of racial discrimination in America, but also the
    reminder of the meaning of justice.
    To begin with, the importance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.s speech was
    portrayed in the speech itself. He described it in words such as, greatest
    demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation, So we have come here
    today to dramatize a shameful condition, and Now is the time to make justice a
    reality for all of Gods children. Dr. King represented his people when he stated so
    clearly, There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is
    granted his citizenship rights. He continued to express his dream, making the
    American crowd guilty of their own conviction of freedom and equality.
    In our present society, effects of the I Have a Dream speech are evidently
    shown. Schools dont segregate race or color and tension between Americans and
    African Americans have decreased, and America has its first African American
    president. The situation has changed between the societies in 1963 and 2015 in
    distinctive ways. Today, African Americans dont have to sit at the back of the bus,
    arent restricted to vote, arent placed in lower quality schools, arent looked down
    upon, and dont have to deal with discrimination and violence on a daily basis. I
    believe nothing would have changed if it were not for Dr. Kings speech.
