Dr.King

Martin Luther King Jr. was unfortunately shot in the chest while he was standing on the balcony of his motel room at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. but before that unfortunate accident Dr.King was an amazing man that made a lot of changes in his short lifetime. he made such an effort to make changes in civil rights that he was sent to jail more  than 20 times. Dr.King was loved by many, but also hated by many. One day while Dr.King was out giving a speech an explosive bomb was planted under the porch of his house. severe damage was done.
  
 When Dr.King thought of an American dream he imagined everyone could live together as equals. in Martins words he described it as "We hold these truths to be self-evident,that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life,liberty,and the pursuit of happiness.

I think america had a hard time pursuing the american dream because of course not everyone was going to accept change. some people would have been perfectly ifne with the way things were before. But like any form of change, theres going to be people who are against it.

In order to make the drea a reality we must all view the world as a place where we all survive together, as one.

we can learn alot from Dr.King. i mostly we can learn that you can never judge anyone just by looking at them. you must get to know them before you pass judgement. I think the next american dream should be to provide homes for everyone across the nations and over the seven seas.
