Answer:
The quote I chose is from the Letter from Birmingham Jail, that Martin Luther King wrote while he was in jail. MLK states, “Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away and the deep fog of misunderstanding will be lifted from our fear-drenched communities and in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty.” This relates to the module theme, equality, because this quote preaches for equality. This quote is about being hopeful that someday everyone will be equal.
All the quotes from this letter relate to the real world because the letter was based off of the events occurring in the real world. But this one hit hard because it is hopeful, sincere and meaningful. What King meant by this quote is that he hopes racial prejudice will soon pass and no one will be scared of society because of their skin color. This quote doesn’t necessarily relate to the present day, but it definitely relates to America’s history. Every man and woman today is equal no matter your skin tone, your gender, your religion or your sexual orientation. Though there are some people out there who continue to believe in things that may not be just, but people today aren’t afraid to be who they are.
This quote relates to another quote present in this module, from Langston Hughes, “Let America be Great Again.” Langston Hughes states, “O, let America be America again-- The land that never has been yet-- And yet must be--the land where every man is free.” King’s quote relates to Hughes’ quote because they are both begging for every man to be free, and equal.
