Speeches: Barack Obama and Martin Luther King
Comparison of the two speeches ” I have a dream” and ”Yes we can”.

The two speeches by Martin Luther King and Barrack Obama are similar in the way that they both talks about human rights, and they both have a dream that people in America can be free and equal treated. Both of them managed people who were important for them in the speech, like their family. Both of them want to see a change in the American society. They have a proverb they use.

The two speeches are different in the way that Martin Luther King talks about the black people rights and Obama Barack talks about the war in Afghanistan, the global warming and the financial crisis. The change they want to see in the American society is different. Martin Luther wants to see black and white people together as one. Obama wants to see all people believe in good things, treat each other in a good way, and believe that dreams can come true. The proverbs they use are different. Martin Luther King uses “I have a dream” as a proverb in his speech, while Barack Obama uses “ Yes we can” as a proverb in his speech.

In the time passed between the two speeches many things have changes. After Luther King’s speech in 1963, black and white people got the same rights. They started to be together as one nation. Black and white’s started to get the same jobs, go to same schools and ride the same buses, with same rights. All white people were not as happy as other. In 1968 white people shot Martin Luther King, when he was standing at his terrace.

After Obama’s speech in 2008 we can see that the American people have been doing well after the financial crisis, even though it was a really hard time for many people, since many lost their jobs and a lot of money. The financial crisis could have been worse. It could have been a really big problem for the rest of the world. I don’t really know how it is with the American’s health these days, but in American media they talk a lot about a healthy diet. The global warming

    Martin Luther King Jr and Malcolm X were both central figures as leaders in the civil rights movement of the nineteen sixties. Although both leaders were striving towards the same goal of achieving equality, they both took different approaches to accomplishing their goals. This is evident through Martin Luther King's Letter From Birmingham Jail, and Malcolm X's speech The Ballot Or The Bullet. Martin Luther King Jr felt the best way to reach racial equality was to keep faith in America. His approach was to preach the words of the Christianity through nonviolent protests, while refusing to conform to laws which provided rights and privileges to whites only. Malcolm X differed from Dr. King in that he was a Muslim that believed that change needed to be invoked through politics, claiming that America had failed African Americans through their inability to treat them like equal citizens. He believed that African Americans needed to stand up for themselves and meet with opposition preferably nonviolently, but violently if provoked to do so. Although both had opposing leadership styles, they both shared a lack of patience to sit around and wait for change to eventually happen. They both refused to be treated like second class citizens any longer and decided to make a drastic change.…

    First of all, both men spoke of freedom. In Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech he brought to the attention of his audience that it had been 100 years since the Emancipation Proclamation was signed into law, freeing all American slaves, yet “the Negro still is not free.” He quoted the Declaration of Independence that stated all men were created equal and guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Yet in the United States, the African…

    King's speech has the strongest argument because, unlike the other three speeches, his speech does not include any bills, policies, or the government as part of the solution to ending racial inequality. President Obama, in his speech, says, "We are creating a Race to the Top Fund..." President Obama wants to strengthen America by applying a policy. Just like President Obama, President Clinton also wants to change America for the better by passing bills. "We are trying to pass a bill to make our people safer, to put another 100,000 police officers on the street,..., to pass the Brady bill...," says President Clinton. Although these presidents might be on the right track, Dr. King thinks differently. "But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free." Dr. King implies that even though the laws and policies changed, the hearts of the people have not completely accepted the idea. The "negros" are still being harrassed and do not consider themselves…

    As mentioned above, they both share some similarities and copious dissimilarities. Throughout their lives, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X were role models in the continuous battle against racism. They both gave powerful speeches on racism; however their intentions were delivered with different styles and purposes. King had a more positive and idealistic approach compared to Malcolm X's more pessimistic views. King was hopeful in believing that someday, blacks would achieve full equality with whites. Non–violent demonstrations and arguments were King's techniques in reaching equality. Malcolm X, on the other hand, viewed non-violence and integration as a way of the "whites keeping…

    Although touching on the same topic, both letters are very different. King has an argumentative tone while Obama has more of a reflecting tone. Obama begins reflection on the signing of the Constitution and King argues about injustice by his very sentencing in Birmingham. Unlike King, Obama discusses the anger of white people. Obama says, “In fact, a similar anger exists within segments of the white community. Most working- and middle-class white Americans don’t feel that they have been particularly privileged by their race.”…

    Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed, we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” Martin Luther King Jr. gave this speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963. In this speech, he states the struggles that African Americans face, due to discrimination and racial inequality in America. King held many peaceful protests concerning these issues, but no matter how peaceful they were, there was always police brutality and discrimination against them. He had hoped that all Americans, who heard the speech, would be touched by it and would take action on how poorly they were treated.…

    Martin Luther King was an African American activist and leader who dedicated his life to fighting for equal rights for coloured people in America. Grown up in a Baptist family, Christianity held a huge fascination for Martin Luther King, which is often reflected in his speeches. In 1964, he received the Nobel Peace Prize for his achievements in the struggle for equality and independence for coloured people. When receiving the award, Martin Luther King expresses his appreciation by a speech in Oslo. This speech is slightly different to his other speeches such as “I have a dream” or “Eulogy” as he uses less metaphors and alliterations and not only focuses on racial discrimination in the United States of America. He uses high vocabulary, as he speaks to a highly educated non-American…

    Racism is an important issue that should not be ignored during any time period and can affect any race. It still plays a role in society today but it is not seen as a main issue. Martin Luther King Junior and President Barack Obama are two individuals that both had a passion to liberate the black community from the discrimination that they were subjected to for many years. In Martin Luther King Junior’s letter, “Letter from Birmingham Jail”, he discusses why racism is a problem and how he is going to take action to stop it. Then in, Obama’s speech, “A More Perfect Union”, Obama briefly focuses on racism but then moves towards other issues that the nation faces. Although King and Obama focus on racism and its effects on individuals and society as a whole I believe that King more fully addresses the issue because he seems to be more passionate about the problem with racism. He speaks on the issue of racism freely even though the people in his community do not agree with his beliefs. Obama briefly focuses on racism but he steers away from that important issue and focuses on his plan to make a better America by fixing class, economic and inequality because he believes that it is no longer a major problem.…
