"Transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers." -Martin Luther King Jr.
This quote was cheered in the "I Have a Dream" speech because a lot of people believed this act should happen. Every one should be able to stand together in what they believe in no matter the skin tone.
This is important for me because with out him pointing out the segregation problems I wouldn't be having white or black friends. Its important to me also because I would like to be together with everyone in this nation not mattering the color of their skin. I would like to be put into a debate where both black and white have the same say and stand up together.
Hope by Emily Dickinson
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chilliest land
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
I asked a crumb of me.
Wishing
Hope is the fuzz above your lip
That sits beside your nose
And hum my song in my ear
And has no end
And sweetest taste is smelled

And love must be the boy
That could stop my small heart
That made it jump for joy
I've heard it in the summer time
And in the silent room
Yet, never, over the top
It asked to little of me
My thoughts over all was that I do believe every man and woman no matter their color could be together anywhere any time. That there shouldn't be no border between them.

Wat up Jess! You made a good choice in choosing that quote. It is one of the quotes that the people hearing the speech reacted the most to. You also did a very good job in the poem too. Keep it up.
