This speech was delivered to over 200,000 civil rights supporters, and in this speech was meant for racial equality and to terminate discrimination. This rhetoric speech demanded racial justice and also proved to be a standard for understanding the social and political major change and gave the nation a sense of what was happening. Martin Luther King was greatly prepared for this speech. He had investigated the Bible, the Gettysburg Address, and the US declaration of independence. He delivered and improvised a sermon, and bursted biblical language and imagery. He also used frequent repetition and alliteration to highlight some key points.
\n\u201cWhen we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
\nThis statement reflects the hunger for liberty and equality for African Americans. He wanted evenness because he believed that every individual is God\u2019s children and deserves the right to be treated in the same manner regardless of the pigment of the skin.
\nOn December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks (known as the \u201cmother of the Civil Rights movement\u201d) refused to deliver her seat on a public bus to a white passenger. She was later convicted and arrested for disorderly conduct and violating a law. 50 African-American leaders gathered to organize the Montgomery Bus Boycott to demand a more humane bus system. After 381 days, with the support of 50,000 African Americans the segregation of white and black people in the public bus was abolished.
\nBoth of these movements symbolize a revolution, a change. Many people fought for their rights during the Civil Rights movements and believed in equality, peace, and evenness no matter what the color of skin was. These were movements that delivered faith and hope in the hearts of various African Americans. Since that time, segregation started to become rare and there was more fairness among Black Americans.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"29331117","dateCreated":"1288388876","smartDate":"Oct 29, 2010","userCreated":{"username":"joseph86","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/joseph86","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/davidgarethw-books-b.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/29331117"},"dateDigested":1531974038,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"two aticles","description":"The first article that I read, was about the education of African Americans in the united states.what this article does is summarize previous articles that treat the same topic. One of the articles this article mentioned was"The Awakening of the Negro" (September, 1896, Atlantic) by Booker T. Washington. This article talked about how the effects of slavery could be treated. Booker said that by educating the black community its people would stand a great chance when facing the economics of the real world. He even founded a program to help shape this education program. The second article that this article summarized is called "The Training of Black Men" (September, 1902, Atlantic) by W.E.B. Du Bois. Du Bois argued that improving the black community`s economy was nor enough. He said that these people had to have a good relation with the white community for their people to progress. He even stated that black ambitious students he worked with had to many barriers to confront. The next article is In "Higher Education for the Negro" (November, 1965, Atlantic) by Bernard W. Harleston. He argued that education for the black community was loo limited and that had to be fixed. In the next article that this article mentions the author Cluade M Steel talked about how the black people did not reach their full potential in school, and this had to be fixed. In the final article that author actually talked to black students and he reported that these people did not rage against whites but they only wanted to maintain their ethnic identity.
\n The second article talked about the civil rights movement. This article is organised by time periods. It starts with the early years that the civil rights movement had. It refers to the protests against the ku klux klan in the 1950-1960`s. then this article comes to the world war two era. Then moving on the article talks about the protest in the 1960`s. in this part there is mentioning of Martin Luther king and other protestants. Then this article goes and talks about the protests in the country side. Then it gives a conclusion linking those past years to the recent years.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"29331333","body":"sorry i forgot to put this

\nThe civil rights movement was a worldwide political movement for equality before the law occurring between approximately 1950 and 1980. It was accompanied by much civil unrest and popular rebellion. The process was long and tenuous in many countries, and most of these movements did not fully achieve their goals although, the efforts of these movements did lead to improvements in the legal rights of previously oppressed groups of peoples. The civil rights movement in the United States refers partially to a set of noted events and the reform movements in that country that aimed to abolish public and private acts of racial discrimination and racism against African Americans and other disadvantaged groups between 1954 to 1968, particularly in the southern United States. It is sometimes referred to as the Second Reconstruction era.

\nBeth Shevitz,

\nThe Civil Rights Movement was a time in which people were fighting for black rights. Black people were not allowed to enter the same churches, schools buses and other facilities that white people entered. Throughout this movement many cases have been held for desegregation. The product of this movement resulted in many changes in the United States constitution. For example, amendments like the 13, 14, and the 15 were established because of this movement. These amendments stated different things like: The abolition of slavery, the grant of citizenship for former slaves, and the giving for African Americans the same voting rights of white people. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Ralph Abernathy were two local Baptist ministers that fought in a nonviolent way for making black and white people have the same rights. If it wasn\u2019t because of this movement, probably black people would still be treated the same way and the United States could be holding slavery right know.

\nProblems facing African Americans today vary a lot. For example, intense racism now is not common. However, one issue still remains, the stereotypes that come from covert or even back door racism. When Barack Obama was elected, many African Americans thought that the world would be much easier for them in terms of the prosperity of people thinking that there are no problems with African American leaders. However as long as it has been said, African Americans still have a lot of problems because the majority of the people who don\u2019t belong to the black race have criticized Barack Obama for being black rather for the things he has done. Not only, is the President being criticized but also the vast majority of black Americans remain silent. That indifference is the worst enemy nowadays.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"29319297","body":"Thanks Daniel,

People who were different, whether it was the color of their skin, their religion, decent, or ethnic origins, were treated differently and weren\u2019t given the same benefits. They weren\u2019t treated the same at their jobs. They didn\u2019t get the same pay, their promotions were considered after other people\u2019s, and when looking for a job whites were given benefits of having jobs before blacks or people that they found different. Also when they tried going to a park, library, hotels, and places of worship, they had to go to different places than the ones that the whites went to because the whites thought that they were better. They had to look for a place special for people who were considered different to keep them away and separate. A lot of the things that people did to discriminate blacks were horrible, and it\u2019s hard to believe that people really thought and acted the way that they did.
\n
\nBut things still haven\u2019t changed much. There are still a lot of problems that black people face, even today. Blacks are having problems sustaining their urban K-12 schools. Teachers, unions, and education establishments are more concerned with raises and grants. They pay little if no attention to the student achievement, testing, and competition from catholic schools. Poverty is also a huge problem facing black Americans today. It\u2019s a problem everyone faces, but black Americans are more likely to go into poverty. Since poor blacks are most likely to live by more poor blacks because that\u2019s what they can afford, they are likely to go to cheep schools that don\u2019t provide a good enough education.

\nAfrican Americans are only 13% of the population of the USA, yet they account for almost half of the people in jail. It is estimated that about 25% of black men are likely to be in jail at some time in their life. Although officials deny it, studies have shown that police officers often take in count a persons race when deciding who to detain for suspicious activities. This racial profiling is not only wrong, but it also causes resentment by the black population, who are more likely to be detained for one simple reason: their race. This issue has not only arised in the process of detaining people, but also in selecting judges. Black jurors are unfairly excluded, and much less likely to get a job, simply because of their race. Officials have tried to regulate these issues of discrimination, but it is a very complicated issue to solve.

\npresent racial issues
\nRacism in the Americas is too strong to be changed in one generation; it has slowly improved, but issues still exist. While it has progressed it has also brought up racial tension, leading to race riots. There were two in Los Angeles, in 1965 and in 1994. There is a high immigration rate of black people to the United States. Other than discrimination, the black populations biggest issue is poverty. The rate of home ownership is still very low, as the unemployment rate is very high. Welfare rules have created a disproportionate number of benefited people; this has caused an economic inequality, which has created and "underclass" in the black society. African Americans are fighting to receive "slavery reparations" and presidential apologies for the damages of slavery. Other ethnic groups who have suffered racial injustices have received payments, however African Americans have not. They were promised "40 acres and a mule" that they have not received. African Americans are fighting for their rights, but they have not been very successful.

\nSouth Africa: Voices of Poor Must Be Heard
\nJohannesburg- S.A. now a tripartite alliance which dominates most of the government is having a wake up call with an increase in protests which have becalmed violent and chaotic. But this doesn't seem to affect the African national congress (ANC) in what electoral losses are concerned. There is a large opposition to the ANC, and Africans are not coming out to vote, all though there is not a mass desertion of traditional ANC supporters.
\nCape town colored populations lost its faith in the ANC when Nomaindia Mfeketo was elected a premier, and Ebrahim Rasool was removed from his post, but this was not established by the supporters of ANC. Although Helen Zille has high standards in efficiency and in corruptability this doesn't mean they are new black votes for the party. Even Though Africans perception of the democratic alliance ( DA) has improved over the years.
\nEven after 16 years of African nationalist government which have been of disillusion, the DA only continues to make a slow progress among minority groups and the black middle class. There seems to be little interest all throughout the country. It doesn't matter which party is in power, there is always a case of abandon, poverty stricken communities versus who ever is in power. Politicians don't seem to know how to fix this problem except with brutal force.
\nIt is clear that democracy is not working for everyone and this is bad news for all of South Africa.
\nPoliticians need to make the poor communities feel that there voices are mean heard, and that those elected to power be less corrupt.

\n
\nU.S. Negroes are they really equal to whites in their abilities, or are they disqualified by some anthropological defect? This is the question millions of U.S. Negroes face as they seek equal employment rights.
\nThey are plenty of famous Negroes, Jazzman Miles Davis, singer Lena Horne, Harry Belafonte, singer Usher, actor Sydney Poitier. But these are celebrities who work before an audience who want to be entertained. There is a belief that the Negro " not make it" which is untrue. Negroes have broken barriers in science, education, and in politics, they have earned positions of respect and become part of the U.S. leadership community.
\nA successful Negro usually has to work harder than whites for equal recognition or success. Most Negroes who have achieved success feel that by achieving high standards, they can better serve the Negro protest. Negro space engineer Spencer Robinson believes his presence has made way for others of his race. Carl T. Rowan, one of three U.S ambassadors, beliefs that every American Negro should do his job with responsibility, his conduct should be admirable and by this way will be making a real contribution, and bringing in a part of the white population. Nonetheless he should speak out when ever necessary to carry his message across.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"29257815","body":"Good Paulina,

\nChallenges African Americans still face today:

\n -This article is about how America isn\u2019t gotten that far along towards the race relations.Considering that America one of the most powerful countries in the world has a African American president, citizens thought that it would be a change in their financial conditions and that they would be equal once and for all. For the black society it was someone to look up to a sign that black people could go somewhere it was a new window. Now a day African American\u2019s community involves a lot of struggles and challenge as an example the stereotyping of them being rappers, druggies, people that would jump you.It talks about the struggle for equality and justice for all.It talks about how to fix the struggles that involve pushing institutional barriers to break the status quo.It tells us about how African Americans and Americans are a family and that we should all support and help each other.And how this issues are affecting not only African American people but soon all of the Americans in America.

\nI would like you to fix the following:
\n
\n1) 'This article is about how the problems that black men face in America is a very serious social crisis that is going on, and it's about the N.U.L (National Urban League) providing a new opportunity for all the black men.' This could be much shorter and you keep changing the tenses here.
\n2) 'giving aback men' See the problem here?
\n3) Run-on sentence: 'The U.L mentioned in the article that giving aback men an opportunity to reach full potential of what they can be and their economic life and the goals they reach is hard for the African-American community.'
\n4) 'This article talks about the unemployment of the African-American's in America.And how the jail sentences of a black person is way worse than a white person...' Alright then, so you have some examples? Also, the article does not 'talk'... people do, but not articles.
\n5) What is wrong with this? 'not as high as a white person's.'
\n6) OK, read this next sentence out loud; if it sounds wrong, it probably is: 'This article is about how America isn\u2019t gotten that far along towards the race relations.'
\n7) Many mistakes here: 'For the black society it was someone to look up to a sign that black people could go somewhere it was a new window.'
\n8) Please clean this sentence up: 'Now a day African American\u2019s community involves a lot of struggles and challenge as an example the stereotyping of them being rappers, druggies, people that would jump you.'
\n9) Please change all sentences which begin with 'It talks...', 'It tells...'
\n10) 'And how this issues are affecting...'

His passion shined through to the demands of the U.S Civil Rights Movement. With the objective of creating attentiveness of racial equality and terminate discrimination. Dr. King had the aptitude of generating change, educating, inspire, and inform Americans as well as the generations to come. He projected courage and desire to essentially mark a difference. \u201cI say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal." New sprits and faith arose due to his diligence; it was not only a speech it was the road to change the nation, leading to the transformation of American law and life.
\nDecember 1, 1995 in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Louise McCauley Parks, an African American civil rights advocate, was compelled to give up her seat for a white passenger. Rosa refused to conform the bus driver James Blake\u2019s order. It became an international emblem of resistance to racial isolation. After this succession she was arrested and fined for violating a city regulation. Boycott leader Matin Luther King Jr. was part of the civil right leaders who Rosa collaborated with. Park facilitated him to instigate him to national fame in the civil rights movement.
\nThrough this, we encountered a new idea, an idea of change. It was this fearlessness which pushed boundaries and defined a period of time that carried with it a new beginning. A beginning filled with hope, love, equality and the ultimate desire of peace and tranquility. The people mentioned before represent something more, because it means something, to be first, to be something else. Not settling for what\u2019s expected but aspiring for above and beyond.
