racism speeches

After reading both Barak Obama's speech and Martin Luther King Jr's speech, it is apparent that racism is still rampant and after all the time in between these speeches, that same problems exist and still need to be taken care of.
In Obama's speech he speaks of looking back at the past, not to get angry at all the problems that were there, but use these to address current issues and figure out how to fix them. Some things that he mentioned are that schools in areas that were segregated before are still inadaquite for young children to learn in.
Marting Luther takes the approach that direct non-violent action is more the way to go to fix problems of segregation and racism. He believes that negotiations need to be made but the only way to get to the negotiations is to cause a small amount of chaos that will force them.
