Erica likes how President Lyndon B. Johnson used the phrases "All men are created equal", "Government by consent of the governed", and "Give me liberty or give me death" in his speech. She said it reminded us that they were well known and that they were supposed to be true. She made a very good point by bringing up how President Johnson had said we had lost countless lives to ensure that America would be the place where there was equality for each and every citizen.
Kacy mentioned how President Johnson said this issue wasn't just a Negro problem, Southern Problem, or Northern problem but it was an American problem. She said that America was the first nation to be created with a purpose and that's how the Constitution was created and that's how it should remain.
Callie said we claim to know the laws of the Constitution, but we deny certain people of their rights. We are one nation, and every citizen of the United States, no matter their race or skin color, should be granted these rights.
