The rights that we take for granted were fought by many Civil Rights leaders including Martin Luther King Jr! Dr. King explained in his last speech that "I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land." Dr. King hoped that that even though they did not live in a world of equality, he knew that one day, equality will be achieved for we the people in the near future. If Dr. King would come into my class tomorrow, he would be mostly proud and some what disappointed.
Dr. King would be proud because of what he sees in my classroom is of mixed backgrounds. He would see that a white teacher is able to teach students that are hispanic, black or any other race. He knew that one day that there will be equality in the United States and he was right. He would also be proud of how we have been using our Civil Rights. He would see that we have a black president that is elected 2 times now. He knew that one day everything that he had hoped would come true will come true.
He would also be disappointed. He would be more disappointed towards my school. Most of the students sag their pants, be in gangs, and even saying many curse words. He would see that we used our Civil Rights in the wrong form from what we do in school everyday. He would probably make another speech that talks about people that misuse the Civil Rights like how my school does. Originally sagging came from prision and people said that it is cool to do it because it means you are tough.
During most of Dr. king adult years, he wore suits on most of the days. The students now all have different types of styles for clothing. Most of the styles that the students have include sagging. Dr. kind would never approve of that. He would still be to proud from what he knew that we will achieve equality. If he saw the whole United States, he would even be more proud.
