ReplyDeleteHalo...I like the speech "Ihave a dream'. because has a hight
content in worlds for defend civil right, the constitucion in special defended Afro-American people.Inspired by Gandhi'S. He learnd the method of non-violent resistence is the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their
struggle for injustice and human didnity.Universal principles
that are inherent in the moral structure of the Universe,and
these principles are as inescapables as the law of gravitation.
