"I have a dream", by Martin Luther King, is a well known liberation speech. I agree
             with King's thesis: Life, Liberty and equality will only be accomplished when the society
             changes their beliefs to accomodate everyone, regardless of race, color and origin. Like a
             snowfall that begins with a few uncertain flakes, thickens gradually into flurries, and then

             According to the Emancipation Proclamation, all men, regardless of race, were
             guaranteed the unalienable rights of equality. All men are created equal. But the Negro
