In Honor of Dr Martin Luther King, Jr7849244

IN HONOR TO DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR

Hi, i'm michael duivis Jose! That was the 1st English sentence I learned after practicing over the internet for 6 hours. That's five years ago. From the the airplane flight from Honduras on the U.S. reading my first sentence. Tonight, We've the courage to question you in English these questions:

Can we know about the legacy that i have a dream speech left this nation and to the world as soon as the Civil Rights Act of 1964?

Should we recognize that minus the Civil Rights Act, many of us couldn't survive relaxing in Northwest Auditorium at UCLA for dinner?

Do we truly understand the impact that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr made on world history with regards to Human Rights?

Students of color like myself are attending a world-class institution like UCLA as a result of Dr. King's work, and it's also my privilege to face till you today and celebrate Dr. King's legacy.

On January 15, 1929, Martin Luther King, Jr came to be in Atlanta, Georgia. He was obviously a man of character and perseverance who lived underneath the heat of injustice and racial segregation. Still, he confronted everything that adversity with firmness and courage, so that you and i also could enjoy his legacy today.

Based on the Un and World Bank Institute, Honduras is one of the world's poorest nations. Blacks in Honduras suffer the worst economic conditions. Blacks in Latin America are really marginalized that individuals aren't even conscious of they exist. However, within the last three decades the economy of Blacks has improved as a result of support of the loved ones which have immigrated to work in the U.S. following the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that outlawed, under specific situations, discrimination determined by race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Actually, the U.S. features a great relation to the financial success and independence of Afro-Hondurans from their Honduran government, containing denied them economic freedom and individual rights due to the political corruption in the elites. (Excerpts from the book titled "History of Blacks in Honduras " by my grandfather Santos Centeno, a Civil Rights Leader in Honduras inspired by martin luther king jr i have a dream)

I became born and raised in Honduras. I am the oldest of three boys. Both my parents instilled in us to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr as well as the Civil Rights Movement. My pops Jose Angel Manaiza, Sr named my younger brother Luther in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and named my youngest brother Jesse honoring Reverend Jesse Jackson who was mixed up in Civil Rights Movement as well as in 1984 ran for President.

Luther and i also were molested by our babysitter when were 3 and 4 year-old. "Injusticia en cualquier lugar es una amenaza para justicia en todos el mundo" Injustice anywhere can be a threat of justice every. That's the very first quote which i learned in the Spanish version of the Autobiography of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr (Autobiografa del Dr. MartinLuther King, Jr) that my mother provided as being a little boy. 13 years ago, I used to be 10-year-old soccer player in Honduras. I was walking with my mother Xiomara Centeno to Church. Out of the blue three men started calling names at us "hey Niggars!" "Hey Monkeys!" I wasn't offended, but I was infuriated which they called my mother these names. It took everything I never to demonstrate them that hatred. Instead, I took everything anger making it a promise to myself that we would eventually become a disciplined individual for example Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, who changed people's minds and hearts. To ensure me to get that influential person, That i used to dream to go to the globe Famous University UCLA. Everyone employed to laugh at me and inform me that I was completely crazy because it would be impossible for me to attend this type of world-class institution like UCLA being an influential person including my hero Dr. Martin Luther King. On your own who didn't laugh was my mother; she always advocated me. Every time a child dreams, you are unable to tell that child that their dreams are impossible as you may hurt a child's heart.
