We shall over come #5

In the speech we shall over come by president Lyndon B. Johnson I see the struggle for equality. In his speech he is not only fighting for certain peoples rights he is fighting for american rights as a whole. In order for this country to prospure we must work together and put our differences aside. The day the the fight for equality is won is the day peace for our country to come and who knows what our country will be able to do. Johnson gives examples of people who have been killed in their struggle for this far fetched goal. He also states that all men are created equal. I know he is fighting for everyone but he seems to forget the fights which the women have undergone as well. "Give me liberty or give me death" is what our country does everyday. Men are not only the ones struggling like he said it is our country as a whole. Years have gone buy constantly fighting the war of violence. I just want to know when all denigration and segragation will disappear from the land of the free. Are we really free or just a mere pond in a game of chess called life. Who makes the rules? One day our country could lose these rights that are a privelege because our country cannot leave the past in the past and confront these foreign issues. The president intentions are good but when will another fighter will arise like Martin Luther King Jr. or Betty Friedan both have fought their whole lives for the struggle for equality for all people. He also emphasizes on our government and how everyone has rights they just have to enforce them to get to that greater cause. There are alot of people in this world that have good intentions but few that continue the fight everyday for the greater good. I some day want to be apart of this fight and not only write it I want to get up and do something about this problem which has hindered America from being all it can be.
