Many wonder to this day if he didn’t give that speech would we be free.Or if he wasn’t ever alive would it be different.Would it have changed peoples minds.Could we all live like we do now.I’m not sure of those answers either and that ok. Because as long as we can all live together in a country and be friends or whatever else I’m thankful for what did happen.In Martin Luther King Jrs. Speech I have a dream he stated that “One day children of slaves and children of slave owners will be able to sit at a table of friendship together.”
