Dr. Martin Luther King is the African-American figure that resonates the most for me. His non-violent approach in the fight for civil rights, economic rights and racial equality amongst all people truly helped to inspire and bring about a change during the Civil Rights Movement.
And although his ‘I Have Dream” speech was given over 50 years ago, I do believe it is still prevalent in society today. Much has changed, but we still have far more to progress if we truly want to see his dream fulfilled.
