The Martin Luther King, Jr. I have a dream speech is the TED.com speech that I decided to analysis mainly because of the emotional effect that it has on me every time I watch it. The power and energy of that march that day was unbelievable to watch. When watching this world event, I am reminded of how bless we are to have had such a great leader, and how far this world has come today. Dr. King was a very informative speaker for back in 1963. He had a vision that we can all still relate to today. It wasn’t just a “black thing” that he was speaking on but a concept that would shape our world into a place that allow us to see how to move in a positive direction, by giving everyone the opportunity to learn and grow from each other, which gives us the advantage to learn more. But because I am black and some of my family member did experience some of the adversity that was going on during that time, it means the world to me that one man’s vision and others before him gave my family hope and a dream powerful enough to passed down to my generation and will continue to for many to come. In my opinion, in order to achieve you must know where you come from, to know where you are going. Because of Dr. King, I am able to follow my dreams, and interest to enter into the job markets of my choice without being keep at a stage because of my race or the color of my skin, but given the opportunity because of my ability and knowledge. The social impact of that march was to say the least the most important march in the world, because it has changed so many lives, and set the stage for so many people to copy the vision and dream of Dr. King. Free at Last, Free at Last, Thank God Almighty, We are Free at Last.
