I Have a Dream Too: An End to Racism

by Daniel Black

A short text that strolls through the progression of slavery in America that evolved into segregation/discrimination and finally systemic racism today. As a black immigrant in America, I felt like I was looking at Racism from the outside without an understanding of the pain felt by the oppressed and distanced from the feeling of discrimination. Then I studied some of the history and struggle of Black America. After reading Dr. Martin Luther King's speech, I felt like I could interpret what he meant when he said, "A dream that little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers” I felt the need to share my perspective of that statement. It felt like it was a revelation that I had an obligation to share. I consider this short book to be an immigrant's perspective into racism in America.
