MLK - Where Do We Go From Here - 1967
The first thing I liked about the reading was how Martin Luther King Jr pointed out that we can't answer the question "where do we go from here?" until we answer the question "where are we now". Its sad to think that back in the day Negros had half the lifestyle that whites did. They were treated so unfairly in almost every way possible. I really respect MLK Jr for how he doesn't think that violence will help solve anything to make things more equal. My favorite tihng he says from this reading is, "Darkness can not put out darkness. Only light can do that."

I agree with Lizzy. It is totally unfair how African Americans were treated back then and how hard they had to fight just to be seen as an equal. It wasn't right, but they have something to be proud of for standing up for themselves and fighting for what they truly believed in.
