Soooo there is about an hour before I have to go to class and I completely forgot to do a blog for this week! So, thinking of a subject right on the spot, I would like to compare Jose Marti to some of the great leaders of our country.
Jose Marti really wanted equality for everyone in Latin America. He wanted equality for the blacks, mulattos, indians, creoles, and whites. To him, racism was sinful and really just plain unnecessary. I admire Jose Marti for standing up for what he believed in, it showed he had a great deal of integrity and empathy for others.
When I questioned myself about who he reminds me of from our country, the first person I thought of was Martin Luther King Jr. He, like Marti, fought for equality and justice. Many people from the Civil Rights Movement remind me of Marti.
Even today, regular people who fight for equality when they see that something is wrong remind me of Marti. I believe it is important to speak out against racism and inequality whenever an opportunity is presented. I can't wait to see the day when race really does not matter to anyone, and when everyone is given equal opportunity for everything no matter what they look like or where they come from.
Sorry this blog is so lame! I can't believe I almost forgot to do it! I hope everyone's papers are coming along nicely :D
