    On this day, 60 years ago, during the March on Washington, MLK delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech to about 250,000 people. I’m not black, but there’s a power and boldness in his speeches that is so unmatched! No matter what race or ethnicity you are, this is someone who everyone should look up to and respect: a hero and a warrior!

      MLK represents the true strength of the United States. No matter how much injustice there may be in this country, he represents all those people, young and old, black and white, man and woman, who hold fast to an unyielding hope that the future could be better. He represents all those people who, in the face of being told that they can't, respond with the timeless American creed: "yes we can"

      I remembered Obama as the President that would change the world. Sadly, the change he made would never come to be realized, not in the entirety that he envisioned.
      The power of Greed had shown its ugly face in so many ways, we forgot that we were even looking at it to begin with.
      When the world had started to burn and drown itself, nobody had decided enough was enough.
      When Biden had started the Ukraine war, nobody batted an eye. When BLM and MeToo started, everyone knew how it would end: as a terrible tragedy for everyone involved.
      People learned what being toxic and cancel culture is. Corporations have been getting away with the moral equivalence of genocide even into the future because it won’t be addressed until the damage is done.
      Canada has now become the new Russia under Trudeau after Trump left the office and Biden becomes faced with his own creation in Ukraine.
      CZcams, social media, Roblox and Netflix all dig their own graves. People forgot and still forget what it means to be themselves.
      The Pandemic revealed worldwide corruption from governments and private industry that manufactured vaccines.
      Slavery is still alive today, but it comes in forms we can even find in Canada. Racism still lives on strong throughout the world.
      We haven’t cured the social problems caused by modern day smart phones. We also fail to act on the information that is found about it.
      Social stigmatization is something that sociologists and psychologists around the world need to fight but haven’t done yet.

If I had my tinfoil hat on, I'd say he had gotten warnings or a tip-off that he was going to be targeted for an assassination soon - and he continued giving his speeches with the knowledge that each one may be his last.

    I heard an interview from the 90’s of a veteran who was on the USS Augusta when Truman decided to drop the bomb. He said that Truman sat down next to him, talked a bit about where the sailor was from, and weeped over his decision to drop the bomb. He did say it had to be done but agonized over the decision.

      The US had to use a nuclear bomb on thousands of innocent civilians? Turning them to dust and leaving even more in agonizing torture? I doubt those poor souls would agree. We watched the evil destruction we wrought and did it a second time.
      I don't see it that way.

Just like when he preached, he was just talking to people who had thoughts, needs, and dreams. Even as a teenager who never lived through the civil rights movement, mostly likes to stay out of politics, and disagrees with Kings entire religion, I can’t help but respect the man. A man who fought for what his people needed and didn’t hurt others in the process is one who deserves respect and recognition throughout the ages.

    Man, when Reagan takes the time to address the children after the Challenger disaster, it’s tough not to get teary-eyed. “I know it might be difficult to understand, but sometimes painful things happen,” is such a heartfelt explanation, and the whole event must have been a real wake-up call, so to speak, to all the kids who thought their role models were invincible. The real world and the true nature of human mistakes was thrust upon their eyes in the worst way possible.

    With Obama's victory speech, while partisanship may be worse than it was ever imaginable in 2008 his hope still moves me evermore. Not only his words but the twinkle and creased smiles of the crowd as well, you can see the hope not only in their minds but in their hearts as well. While the future is still uncertain, and we are coming up on yet again the "most historic election" in American history, that hope from 2008 still moves me in 2023.

    There’s something oddly moving about seeing MLK filmed in color. I’ve seen color photos of him, but only ever black and white footage. He seems so historical, so monumental in black and white, but in color, it makes him seem so real. It’s hard to explain, but it’s fascinating seeing him as he was to many, a preacher (reverend but you get the point). It’s interesting seeing him more as a man, rather than a historical figure

    Fun fact: MLK didn't prepare his I Have a Dream speech beforehand. One of the women standing a bit behind him shouted out to him "Tell them the dream, Martin!" He had told her his dream a bit before the speech, and was not prepared for his speech to be about that subject. Knowing that gives me a lot more respect for Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. He could take a single sentence from someone and turn it into one of the most if not the most inspiring speeches to ever grace the land of America.
