STUDENT ROUGH DRAFT:
Student writing collage--civil rights: freedom and peace2.doc
On August 28, 1963, Dr. King lead a civil rights march to Washington, D.C., and gave his famous “I Have a Dream” Speech. It was a very important moment in the Civil Rights Movement.
“Freedom and Peace,
All sisters and brothers, Like family,
White and black, Free at Last! Free at Last!”
“Black people want freedom. They need peace.
|
They want to live together … blacks and whites together.”
“Peace is what we want—use it to get it! You have to have love to have peace, so love your enemies.”
We imagined other words Dr. King and those marching with him might have said that day….
“Everyone should be able to have the rights to do everything they want to do.” “Together everyone will make the world better. I love my black and white people. I wish the world would change.”
“Together everyone can make peace.”
“I love my black and white brothers and sisters. When we love everyone, we will have peace. I have this dream that everyone will live peacefully together.”
“I have a wish for everyone to have the same rights for jobs and schools.”
Here’s what Martin Luther King’s Dream looks like today, right here at Mary Hogan School.
“Sisters and Brothers can live together in peace in this world. Only love can bring them all together.”
Martin Luther King’s dream has come true.
Everybody has worked together to become friends.
Everyone can play together happily…Freedom to all of us who play together.
We play together in freedom. Everyone is free at last, no matter what they look like.
