2. ask one question you have,
3. and define what a hero means to you.

What do you want to change about the world?

Martine Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X gave their lives to change the world. They could not go on with things the same old way and not do something about it. Their efforts have made a lasting impact on the world we live in -- while certainly not perfect, the world is better because of their ideas and their sacrifices.

What do you want to change about the world and why?

I, Too, Sing America by Langston Hughes
I, too, sing America. I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen When company comes, But I laugh, And eat well, And grow strong. Tomorrow, I'll be at the table When company comes. Nobody'll dare Say to me, "Eat in the kitchen," Then. Besides, They'll see how beautiful I am And be ashamed— I, too, am America. The post for this week: This poem speaks of the American Dream and what it means to us and to those who have come before us. What is your understanding of the American Dream? The post for next week: Read the poem by Langston Hughes, one many of you may be familiar with, and comment in your post about its message. Discuss the relationship between the poem's message and either King or Malcolm X's message as well.
