Why is Martin Luther King JR speech from 1963 still important in 2021?

History
1 answer:
ohaa [14]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

The Rev. Dr Martin Luther King as so important because he came to symbolise the Civil Rights movement. He did not invent it, and he was not the only leader in it - but he captured the public imagination more than anyone else. Such things as the “I Have A Dream” speech may have been taken (almost word for word) from other Civil Rights speakers (just as his doctoral thesis was actually the work of another person) - but it was the way he delivered a speech and the time-and-place that was important. In the 1960s if people had heard of only one Civil Rights leader it was Martin Luther King. Without in any way being insulting , he was a “showman” - and it was GOOD that he was a showman. A quiet academic theologian would not have got any public attention or been able to inspire a mass movement.

Yes his private conduct left a lot to be desired (and which of us is without sin?) and his political opinions tended to go into some strange places in the 1960s - but the basic point remains. Was Segregation a great moral evil? Yes it was. Who did more than any other person to campaign against it? To turn the public against it? Martin Luther King was that person.

Mice21 [21]

The answer is A) the number of common people involved in government. One of the significant changes in the atmosphere in Jefferson's administration was the number of common people involved int he government. The first six presidents were <em>cut from the same cloth</em>, wealthy, educated and from the East. In contrast, Thomas Jefferson was a self-made man who believed that education was unnecessary to be in politics. It was because of this ideal that more common people were involved in government during Jefferson's term.
