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.

Why does the United States have a bicameral congress? Make sure to explain the Virginia and New Jersey Plans.
Natali5045456 [20]

We can define the reasons that why United states have a bicameral congress in historical, practical and theoretical way. If we look at the historical reason we see that the British Parliament had consisted of two houses since the 1300s, and if we see practically, the Framers had to make a two-chambered body to settle down the conflict that is between the Virginia Plan ( in this plan, there are two houses of congress and the population will determine the representation in each house) and the New Jersey Plan (in this plan there is a single house of Congress and each state would have an equal vote) <span>at Philadelphia in 1787 and theoretically the farmers preferred a bicameral congress in a way that one house of congress would have check on the other house.</span>
