As we were on our journey through the national civil rights museum and Dr. Martin Luther King's memorial, i noticed that there were two different schools of thought integrated in and throughout the museum. Outside Dr. Kings memorial there was a quote that said 'kill a man and see what may become of his dreams'. To me this quote is trying to communicate that kings dream was never realized and that we seem to be stuck. But on the inside the museum there was a quote that exclaimed in big, proud print ' the dream will live long after the man'. This was shocking to me because it seemed as if the two quotes were contrasting ideas that illustrated the separate schools of thought that were and still are present. these quotes made me question about what i have been taught in school since i can remember,That Dr. kings dream was realized and accomplished. But was the dream really truly achieved, or was it forced to quell the unity of the people?
