Reading the first two posts, the previous bloggers for this week had very good points. That this speech is about the right to vote, the civil rights vote and how color isn’t the problem. Everyone is different in their own way. As Jade said, we are a united Country. But what I liked most about the speech was the part where he says, “There is no issue of state's rights or national rights. There is only the struggle for human rights. I have not the slightest doubt what will be your answer.” I really liked this, because it is true, and a very good point. Everyone should be concerned mostly about human rights. Another point that is very important is a saying that is repeated throughout the entire speech. We shall overcome. This one line speaks volumes about our country. We are united together, no matter what. We are the greatest country when we work together, and through what Lyndon B. Johnson’s message we were able to overcome one of the worst times in our countries history.
I also wanted to mention what Kaitlin mentioned previously again, because it is such an important point. The fight for civil rights is still not over, nor will it ever be, because with civil rights comes human rights. We still haven’t succeeded in freeing those in need from the depression of having their human rights violated. But as a nation, we are heading in that direction. As Lyndon B. Johnson said, “We Shall Overcome.”
