In the year 2020 a black person named George Floyd was killed by a policeman who laid on his neck for several minutes. This act of police violence and many other cases have resurrected the problem of racial inequality in the USA especially those of black US Citizens and it begs the question to the past of racial inequality and where the roots are. What is left of the famous speeches and motivations of the human and civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. in the 1960s? Have his speeches and dreams improved the lives of black people in the US?

The scientific approach for this skilled work in the subject English is to analyze King’s famous speeches and quotes and conclude how effective it still is for our present time and what kind of effect it had in the 1960s. It also operates with two pieces of literature to describe and question King’s influence on today's movements like "Black Lives Matter".
