On April 14, 1967 Martin Luther King delivered a speech at Stanford. In this speech Dr. King decided to talk about the Racism, The Civil Rights Movement and a topic that was probably heard for the first time by many people which would be the " Two Americas". One of the two Americas is the America that is inhabited by colored people of African descent in other words Black people. The second America is comprised of White Americans. In his description, Dr. King makes it sounds as if the White America is a complete paradise and Utopia while the Black America is a horrible place and it is a dystopia. These two Americas still exist today and one example of this would be racism which still exists to this very day.Dr. King also talks about National and International Problems that existed in 1967. An example of an National Problem that Dr. King talked about was racism and an example of international problems that Dr. King talked about was the war in Vietnam. In 2010, we are still experiencing some of the same problems as experienced in 1967 and proof of this is racism which is national and the war in Iraq which is international. I have recorded my feedback to Dr. King's speech while including portions of his speech in order to perform a critical analysis of specific topics related to his speech.
