Not so long ago, in our wonderful nation’s past, a very wise man
said that he had a dream, a dream that his children and
grandchildren would have the privilege of growing up in a free
environment where all people were treated equally.  This man
fought for the rights of all African-Americans and kept them
strong even at the worst of times.   He encouraged them by
constantly letting them know that God created all men equally,
and also that his intentions of fair treatment would indeed
come to be.  This man fought the best battle in his power, but
never once fired a gun, never once thrust a knife, and never
once beat with a stick.  Instead of using these lethal weapons,
he took the harm that they could do.  This man was a war hero,
a peaceful one.  This man was a legend to those like him and
those around him who kept the name Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

In my eyes, Dr. King was one of the bravest men to set foot on
American soil.  If he was still alive today, he would totally
annihilate racism in our country.

I wish to do my best to carry out the dream that he shared with
so many people that day in Washington DC.  If I could, I would
outlaw racism in America.
