Martin Luther King I Have a Dream Speech - American Rhetoric Martin Luther King, Jr. I Have a Dream delivered 28 August 1963, at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington D.C. Video Purchase Off-Site audio mp3 of Address [AUTHENTICITY CERTIFIED: Text version below transcribed directly from audio. (2)] I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back. I have a dream today! But not only that: Free at last! U.S.
Racial Stereotypes Racial Stereotypes in GTA San Andreas Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (a.k.a. GTA SA) is a 3D action/adventure video game by Rockstar Games. The game was released in 2004, and quickly became one of the most popular and best selling video games ever. The game’s storyline is that the player, Carl Johnson (a.k.a. CJ), an African American young man, returns to his home in the ghetto and joins his old gang to re-establish it and support it against the rival gang that killed his mother and friends. Racial stereotyping in video games is dangerous because it gives a “negative self image” for the ethnic minority youths that play these games. Besides violence, and sex, one of the most controversial things about the GTA SA is the racial stereotyping it presents. African Americans in the game are mainly portrayed as gangsters, poor people, and drug abusers. The character Big Smoke resembles actor Clifton Powell and famous rap legend Biggie Smalls a.k.a. Fig. 21 shows yet another pedestrian type.
Hero The vet whispered, “I hate birthing dead puppies.” The puppy lay lifeless in the palm of his hand. True to his oath he administered CPR and amazingly heard a whimper and then slight breathing. The assistant and vet worked frantically to revive the pup whose chances were very low after twelve long hours lodged behind two dead puppies. Fate smiled on them that day. The team dubbed him Hero, a name worthy of a survivor. Hero’s first owner, a woman in her 70’s, loved him dearly. Large, black older dogs, especially a Rottweiler, are very difficult to place. Hero, the pup Hero suffered from extreme separation anxiety. The more jobs I gave Hero, the more he blossomed.

He was a legend in his own time and his influence on today's music is a testament to his enormous talent. Born in Chicago on June 3, 1942, Curtis Mayfield enjoyed a childhood entrenched with music. He taught himself how to play the guitar and, inspired by his mother's love of poetry, started to develop his own songwriting skills. By the mere age of seven, he was singing in public. He was strongly influenced by a local gospel group, the Northern Jubilee Gospel Singers. While Curtis sporadically performed with The Impressions, he spent his time playing guitar in Jerry Butler's touring band, and provided Jerry with his first R&B hit, "He Will Break Your Heart." Despite some success, Mayfield was not content. The beauty of Mayfield's music was threefold: soulful rhythms, beautifully-crafted melodies and meaningful lyrics.
