Yesterday (3/19/13) we did not have class due to the snow
day. Today in class (3/20/13) we listened to Martin Luther King Jr.’s I Had a
Dream Speech and Malcolm X’s speech. Martin Luther King Jr. wanted peace and
non-violent protests while Malcolm X wanted violence and to gain land. We also discussed
if Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech changed racism completely in America today.
The truth is it didn't, although it provided significant progress to racial
equality, racial discrimination against African Americans still exists today.
