Dr. Martin Luther King was one of the greatest black leader in history. The speech the other America is about the other face of America: So many social problems. The section I choose is about the poorness of America.
In the speech Dr. King talked about the other America. He said America was not unify enough, and liberty was not achieved for everyone in America. Justice is not for all; discrimination still exited. Segregation was not suppose to exist because it was discrimination. Discrimination make the nation not unify enough. The other problem that I am doing was the poorness of America. America seemed like rich, but there are still so many poor people, and their life was very bad. The rich people took away things from poor people and made them even poorer. This kind of life had big effects on children, especially black kids.
The America today still have the same problem, but it's not that serious. Discrimination is still existing. And of course discrimination will have affects on children. The one America is rich and nice...etc., and the other one is poor, full of social problems, and so many poors' rights were taken from rich people. Immigrants now are poor because they needed to pay taxes to the rich people. Segregation of that time period was very popular, and also Indian Americans were not living in cities now because people didn't like them.
