Honoring Dr Martin Luther King, Jr7592503

IN HONOR TO DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR

Hi, i'm Jose! Which was the first English sentence I learned after practicing i believe for 6 hours. That was 5 years ago. I remember the airplane flight from Honduras to the U.S. reading my first sentence. Tonight, We've the courage to question you in English these questions:

Should we understand about the legacy that martin luther king jr i have a dream left this nation also to the planet as soon as the Civil Rights Act of 1964?

Will we understand that without the Civil Rights Act, many people couldn't survive using Northwest Auditorium at UCLA for dinner?

Do we truly understand the impact that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr made on world history in terms of Human Rights?

Students of color like myself are attending a world-class institution like UCLA because of Dr. King's work, and it is my privilege to be before you today and celebrate Dr. King's legacy.

On January 15, 1929, Martin Luther King, Jr was created in Atlanta, Georgia. He would have been a man of character and perseverance who lived beneath the heat of injustice and racial segregation. Still, he confronted everything that adversity with firmness and courage, so that you will and I could enjoy his legacy today.

In accordance with the U. n. and World Bank Institute, Honduras is among the world's poorest nations. Blacks in Honduras suffer the worst economic conditions. Blacks in Latin America are very marginalized that men and women are not even aware that they exist. However, over the last many years the economy of Blacks has improved because of the support of their members of the family that have immigrated to function from the U.S. as soon as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that outlawed, under certain situations, discrimination depending on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. In reality, the U.S. includes a great relation to the financial success and independence of Afro-Hondurans from their Honduran government, which has denied them economic freedom and individual rights due to the political corruption in the elites. (Excerpts through the book titled "History of Blacks in Honduras " by my grandfather Santos Centeno, a Civil Rights Leader in Honduras inspired by i have a dream speech)

I had been from Honduras. I am the oldest of three boys. Both of my parents drilled into us to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr and also the Civil Rights Movement. My father Jose Angel Manaiza, Sr named my younger brother Luther in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and named my youngest brother Jesse in honor of Reverend Jesse Jackson who had been mixed up in the 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 is often a threat of justice every. That was the 1st quote that we learned through the Spanish version of the Autobiography of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr (Autobiografa del Dr. MartinLuther King, Jr) that my mother set it up being a son. 13 years back, I was 10-year-old soccer player in Honduras. I became 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, on the other hand was infuriated that they can called my mother these names. It took everything I had not to indicate them that hatred. Instead, I took all of that anger making it a promise to myself that we would eventually become an influential individual like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, who changed people's minds and hearts. In order for me to get that influential person, That i used to dream to visit the planet Famous University UCLA. Everyone utilized to laugh at me and tell me i was completely crazy since it will be impossible will be able to attend a real world-class institution like UCLA to become an important person like my hero Dr. Martin Luther King. On your own who didn't laugh was my mother; she always supported me. Each time a child dreams, you can not tell that child that their dreams are impossible because you may hurt a child's heart.
