It talks about the historical significance when Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. Personal Reaction: His "I Have a Dream" speech has to be my favorite speech because what he said really spoke to me. I find that children should learn not to judge what people look like, and instead try to judge worth by how people act. Extensions: 1) I would show the class the recording of his "I Have a Dream" speech. 2) I would teach the children how important it is to judge someone's worth by how they act than how they look. A very well-written informative book for all ages which provides a background into the necessity of the Civil Rights movement. Referencing the abhorrent treatment of blacks and the egregious unfair treatment and rules, the author does a very credible job of outlining the events which led up to the March on Washington. It took a tremendous amount of planning to pull the entire thing together. And, all involved were to be commended for their dedication and commitment to making this occur. Unsure of the success of the event, the planners worried that not enough people would participate. On August 26, 1963, while Peter Paul and Mary, a well-known folk group, Mahalia Jackson, a well-known civil rights leader. Marian Anderson, a popular black opera star, the wife of assassignated Medgar Evers, many others and then finally Dr. Martin Luther King taking the podium to give his famous I Have a Dream Speech, rallied over a quarter of a million people who marched for equal rights. As the book notes, more than 2,000 buses, 23 trains, ten airplanes and thousands upon thousands of cars brought both black and white people together to for the most successfully orchestrated, non violent congregation of those who demanded that NOW was the time to eliminate unfair treatment. NOW was the time for better jobs and housing and NOW was the time to overcome all the injustice. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
