I have a dream!

by Florentine van der Beek

 

 

Did Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream come true?

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

The most significant sentence of King’s speech; and something that he could still say today. Because people are still judged by the color of their skin, and not by the content of their character.

Everything that King fought for, equal rights between African Americans and white Americans, freedom and justice, it’s there on paper, but not in the hearts of the American people, whether they are black, white, Latino or Asian. And judgment isn’t something that you can do by following rules. It is something that is done by the heart.
