Has The Dream Come True?

"I have a dream" by Martin Luther King Jr, I wonder if he actually had a dream; well because of his integrity I'm going to assume that he actually had the dream. It has been exactly half a century since King had a dream, so the question is, has the dream become a reality? Before we go into that here is a video of that momentous day:

"Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning"(King), is today finally the end or an intermission of realizing the dream? Have we made "real the promises of democracy"? These are the questions that I ask today, I need to know that from the moment Mr. King said that speech to the moment I typed the first word in this entry, the dream has been realized. Well I will stand tall and say that it has; life may not be perfect and democracy may feel like its hiding in the distance sometimes, but those words rippled through this planet and began realizing the dream. July 2 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed in the United States of America. April 25 1974, Angola gained its independence from Portugal. March 21 1990, Namibia gained independence from South Africa. April 27 1994, became known as the end of Apartheid in South Africa. January 8 2009, the United States of America had its first African American president.Those are only few examples of the fruition that came from that dream. Therefore if you wish to say the dream has yet to come true, you are entitled to that; however you cannot deny we have come a long way from when that man told us of what he dreamt.

Malcolm X: My job in this blog has been to give you a different perspective on some of the issues we talk about; to set you straight about some of the things you say, but today I'm here to support you. Remember on your very first post you used a quote from Martin Luther King Jr, and I decided to leave; well now I have something to say. Martin Luther King Jr,W. E. B. Du Bois, Rosa Parks, John F. Kennedy, Nelson Mandela, myself(wink) and many others brought much needed change to our world, We strayed from the norm and stood for what is right; we defied nature, by being the cornered prey that attacked its predators. Now is time for you to stand for what right; renounce the fear you may have, because we the men of yesterday learned from you the men of tomorrow. Let me explain with quote of mine "Children have lesson adults should learn, to not be ashamed of failing, but to get up and try again". That is what leave you with in the hopes that your generation  may accomplish things that dwarfs the accomplishments of your predecessors!
