The 50th Anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech

1. The purpose of the March on Washington was to get voices out there and celebrate together as one and equal as well at the largest political gathering by colored people.

2. The purpose of the keynote address delivered by Martin Luther King, Jr was to let the people know that we are all one and equal and his dream was to see this division between us be destroyed to live as one at peace. No racism just love and have equal rights. 

3. The speech and the March on Washington became the two most celebrated symbols of the Civil right era because it created a change. It made the people truly make a movement to prosper for human rights. Also, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr spoke from his heart he preached to the people as a person himself. It was truly a connection with all.

4. Many everyday citizens got involved in the civil protest during the civil rights era because they all wanted change and equality as humans. Change was much needed and with the bigger the crowd the more they are heard. Passionate about this movement for civil rights made it come alive.

5. A drastic thing like losing human right or not being respected of your rights can encouraged a everyday citizen and citizens to get involved in the struggle for civil human rights. Also, if someone does what Martin Luther King Jr. did with his amazing speech to get the people up and moving ready for things to change. It gave motivation and that's what one needs to get the ball rolling.

6. The connections that can be made with The March on Washington, and "The I Have a Dream" are that the gathering of the march gave the people opportunity for many to speak and one of those speakers was Martin and he motivated many to have movement for there rights and equality. This paved the way to change and helped get the word out that things need to be done not just for ourselves but for our future children as well.

Project Review

I felt pretty good doing this project. I wasn't really nervous presenting and I found good information on the people I selected. 

I could of improved on my presenting. Better eye contact and enhancing my voice. 

Our group performance overall had a great performance and we spoke and explained ourselves very well.

In my community I feel like we need to focus on the streets actually pave the roads and side walks as well as light up some of the streets with street lights. Another thing is fund the community center as well as the school that are of low in funding. Get our community on there feet and not just better the schools who prosper but as we'll as those who need the help to prosper as well. 

Ella Baker is on individual I think of when it comes to bettering the community because she created organizations to help her cause. She would of put the word out to help fund our community. She would voice the issue and gather people to put the word and create and organization to start a real movement.

Made it through week #1

This weekend I plan in relaxing, to be ready and fresh Monday morning. Do a little shopping and cleaning because I have to and need to. Overall just chill, maybe go see my god sister.

Ella Baker - Ella Baker began her involvement with the NAACP in 1940. She worked as a field secretary and then served as director of branches from 1943 until 1946.

Inspired by the historic bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1955, Baker co-founded the organization In Friendship to raise money to fight against Jim Crow Laws in the deep South.

In 1957, Baker moved to Atlanta to help organize Martin Luther King's new organization, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). She also ran a voter registration campaign called the Crusade for Citizenship.

 Sir Nicholas Winton - In January 1939, the 30-year-old stockbroker from Hampstead abandoned a planned holiday to answer a call for help from a friend in Czechoslovakia engaged in saving Jews from the Nazis.

Between March 1939, when Hitler invaded that part of Czechoslovakia not already ceded to Germany under the Munich Agreement, and the following August, he and a group of British humanitarians saved 669 children, mostly Jewish, from the extermination camps. Winton secured travel permits and foster homes, and obtained passage on trains taking unaccompanied minors through the heart of the Third Reich to salvation. Their parents, however, were left behind, the British government decreeing that only child refugees were to be permitted entry.

Worst thing a man can do!

Armstrong puts photos or newspapers up on his walls in his barbershop to show those who are and we're doing things. Things like making a change or putting there voice out there. A man like Nelson Mandela, Jackie Robinson- first black baseball player to play in the all white major leagues, and Martin Luther King- I have a dream; spoke out for peace and equality; tried to end racism and be happy together as equal. All the people who were on Armstrong's wall were African American.

Social Justice- equality in terms of marriage, end race superiority, valuing human rights, natural human rights, etc.
