"I have a dream"


“I have a dream…” It is the most famous part of the best-known Martin Luther King’s speech. He was fighting for his dream: to live in a world where it doesn’t matter the color of people’s skin, where people with dark or fair skin have the same rights and live as equals. This speech was delivered on August 28, 1963, during the march on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. It was a defining moment for the Civil Rights Movements in America and it’s considered one of the best speeches in history.


Nowadays it seems that everyone has the same rights civil and that we all live in harmony, but it isn’t true at all. In some countries still exists discrimination, racism, exploitation. Some countries are still involved in wars that only damage the civil population. Some countries still discriminate people by their color skin, by their sex, age and money. Some children don’t have childhood and some elder people don’t have a family or a home.


My dream is simple, but difficult. I would like that everybody could live in harmony, having the work they want, having a family and a home, frees of prejudices and social classes. I would love that. Anyone wouldn’t be better than anyone else, more important or richest. For me, it would be something beautiful to live in a world where everyone has the same rights and opportunities, where it doesn't exist any necessity of causing conflicts, battles or even wars.





Maybe it’s too difficult to reach that level. Humans have naturally some features that preclude my desire, that stop it. But I know we can improve, we have done it always. Why we couldn’t do it now? We just need will, awareness and specially time, a lot of time.

A better world is possible and we can prove it!
