“I have a dream” speech by civil rights activist and Baptist minister Martin Luther King Jr., on August 28, 1963, during the march on Washington DC, is a defining moment of the civil rights movement, the preacher called on America to live up to the declaration of its independence.

Martin Luther King Jr. is the greatest none elected American, who fought and died for America to live by the declaration of its independence, he challenged America with words written in the founding document which states “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. This is not the case, as African Americans are still to date, suffering under a system of racism, inequality and injustice. 

The civil rights activist was killed fighting to save America from its original sin, and hopefully, his message would save white Americans from the hateful self-destruction, as some are fighting against any laws that project his legacy. Just like Jesus in the bible story, he was killed preaching love. Would the United States of America ever realise Dr King’s dream, of equality and social justice for all?
