I Have a Dream

We watched a video of Dr. Martin Luther King giving his famous "I have a Dream" speech on Tuesday. On of my favorite lines from the speech was "I have a dream that some day my children will be judged by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin".

Write 4 sentences about one of the following topics:

-a time you experienced or witnessed racism

or

-After watching the video how did you feel. Was a good speech. Did you have a favorite part.

Here is a link to his "I have a Dream" speech.

Make sure to put your name at the end of your post!!!
