I had a dream: If I could return back in time
I would go in America during the segregation to live with Martin Luther King and
other black leaders like Rosa Parks or Malcolm X, listen to their speeches,
talk and learn with them about the situation and their ideals for the
future.
I will not tell them they’re going to win their fight because if I do
this they will not have the same motivation I think so I’ll just follow them in
their everyday life to watch what made those persons become leaders and icons
and live the birth of the Black Power movement (1966-1975) in America.
I also
would like to go to the Olympics games of Mexico in 1968 when the two black
athletes, Tommie Smith and John Carlos, made the black power’s sign during the
national anthem after winning the 200m run. if I was in the stadium at this moment I
think I’d jump on the track and go shake hands with them despite the fact they were
excluded from the Olympics games after this act.
After having done all these things,
felt all the privations and sufferings that they endured :the oppression of the
policemen, to go to school or in the same places than the whites, the same
toilets, the same buses, the same zoo to
be considered like the white people I would be very proud to be a half-blood
person.
