5 “Whites only” signs were plastered across the South – movie theaters, restaurants, public
6 restrooms, even ambulances. Blacks were subject to oppression in almost every facet of life.
7 Simply being in the wrong place could constitute jail time, and that was considered a light
8 punishment.
9 Racial relations have come a remarkable distance, however. King's speech served as an
10 impetus for a multitude of changes and shifts in society to eliminate a significant amount of
11 the harsh and cruel discrimination against people of color, culminating in the election of
12 President Barack Obama, the nation's first black president. Yet, to think today's society
13 can be considered to be the product of King's words is simply premature.
14 Blacks may not be subject to the same torture and humiliation they faced 50 years ago, but
15 those scars haven't healed – many blacks still face enormous amounts of discrimination in
16 their daily lives.
17 “The Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material
18 prosperity”, King once said. While this may not be entirely true today, the disparity blacks
19 face economically and educationally is the defining difference between black and white
20 Americans.
21 Despite the fact that they are enfranchised, blacks are still subject to poverty and racism.
22 And this culminates in fewer chances for blacks to be educated in America's school system.
23 Larger income gaps and skyrocketing unemployment rates mean fewer chances to break
24 the poverty line and fewer opportunities for blacks to receive a college education thereby
25 perpetuating the already desperate circumstances.
26 This endless cycle of poverty must stop. Legislators must embrace education as the primary
27 path to break this horrific mold into which blacks are forced to conform. To combat such a
28 problem, funding for the revitalization of school systems in predominantly black
29 neighborhoods, revamping of lesson plans and increases in the opportunities for children
30 who want to achieve a better education should be pursued. The choice is simple.
31 King would have never settled for the progress we've seen since he delivered his iconic
32 speech 50 years ago. If we want to see the orator's dream come to fruition, the shackles of
33 racism between Americans must be broken untill all are “free at last.” Education is not race
34 subject, it is a national right.
