The reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. along with two thousand people of African American origins have rallied in front of the Lincoln Monument in Washington, D.C on the 28th of August, in order to speak up on the injustices they have suffered along the years, and yet nothing has been done to stop the racial segregation that is common occurrence in this country. The march started earlier today and has made others join in, until it climaxed once the reverend King gave a speech worthy to go down in history as the most memorable advocations for one's rights and justice.

Dr. King's speech addressed many topics in relation to how much and for how long they've suffered of a divided society and a marginalised race such as the African American people.
When addressing the march, King had a dream of his children and grandchildren living in an America free of racism, segregation and disregard for black people in all of its states. But nowadays, in despite all of Martin Luther King Jr.'s efforts, such a thing still happens in America. Currently, the law system remains to be flawed for everyone, and Afroamerican people have it far worse than anyone else, as children, they go to school, totally oblivious to the world beyond their grasp, and yet, they continue to be defined by their ethnicity or simply by the color of their skin and not who they truly are as a person. After that, they proceed to a world filled with disdain for the qualities they were born with, eventually affecting who they are as a person, and how they're seen by entities like the law. After nearly 50 years of his famed speech, the Americans and the country in itself have yet to learn how to exclude and thoroughly exterminate this kind of irrational hate that's been birthed by such an idiotic reason. For example, many black people have been shot, either by civilians or policemen, and have ended up heavily injured or dead. Moreover, these shooters have come out not convicted of any criminal charges due to this. Not only this, but many other innocent black people have been found to be bias against, without any more of a reason than their ethnicity. Due to all of the reasons and examples is why justice has still not been achieved by the United States.
