How Dr.Kings March On Washington Affects Us Today

It was 47 years ago to the day we celebrated one the greatest demonstration for freedom to ever be held on American soil. Dr. Martin Luther King’s 1963 March on Washington became focal point in American history and its amazing how Dr. King’s words still ring true today. As we listen to the words he spoke on top of the Lincoln Memorial we realize that the same thing is going on in this country when it comes to our Muslim brothers and sisters being faced with injustice and cruelty. 

It’s important that we all stop and listen to Dr. Kings speech, it’s vital because even though he spoke these words nearly 50 years ago they are relevant today. What was great about Dr. King’s speech is that he used America’s language that we see in the Declaration of Impendence, the Bill of Rights, the Constitution and our National anthem and turned it onto itself when it came to the injustices that Blacks were faced with at the time.
