We must continue to pursue the promised American Dream!
In Langston Hughes' poem "Mother to Son," it says,
"Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.... But all the timeI’se been a-climbin’ on..."-Langston Hughes' "Mother to Son"
Then, in Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech, he states,#160;
"I have a dream that one day on the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood."-MLK Jr.'s "I Have a Dream"
"In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check."
Finally, Lorraine Hansberry, through Walter in "A Raisin in the Sun," says,
"I open and close car doors all day long. I drive a man around in his limousine and I say, 'Yes, sir; no, sir; very good, sir; shall I take the Drive, sir?' Mama, that ain't no kind of job . . . that ain't nothing at all."-Walter, "A Raisin in the Sun"
With these examples, we need to learn that we must help the people who need us...
