Reflection-American+Dreams

On this wall I show how the American dream has been changed throughout the generations. I have made a connection between four very different people, but who have all made a huge impact on society today. Martin Luther King is the most famous Civil Rights activist ever known. He had many dreams for this country that many believe could never come true. I have put up his "I have a Dream Speech" and a picture of him to show the effect he had on the society during the Civil Rights period. Next, I have shown a quote from the "My Generation" poem. This poem shows a man's view on his generation and how he believes it is the time for change. I then move forward to my generation. I put up a song that Nas sings called "I Can." This song talks about how if you believe in something, you can make it happen. NaS sings about if someone has a dream and they work hard at it, it can come true. Lastly, I posted a video that was made by celebrities showing the change that Barack Obama will bring to our country. Through Obama's "Yes We Can" I believe our Barack Obama can bring the change we need to make this country a better place. I realize that there needs to be a change and I believe that our generation can be the ones to make this happen.
