"I have a dream" then "I can't breathe" now


“I have a dream” is an iconic public speech by Martic Luther King Jr. delivered on August 28th 1963 for equality in civil rights. King addressed thousands of civil right supporters from the steps of Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. His speech turned as huge civil rights movement in American History. Historians have remembered one of the best speeches of 20th century. Taking inspiration from Luther King, thousands of protesters gathered Friday at same Lincoln Memorial to call for overall criminal justice restructuring and racial equality. The anti-racism demonstration against police brutality in United States reached to peak.

The families of black Americans shot or killed by police spoke at the same site where Martin Luther King Jr delivered his I Have a Dream speech. Sister of George Floyd and Father of Jacob Blake called “We’re going to stand up”. Son and granddaughter of Martin Luther King also participated and address the rally. Attendees lined along Constitution Avenue as early as 7am in anticipation of the march. Protestors shouted “Black Lives Matter” and “I can’t breathe” slogans on the streets. Democrats used the protest for political interests. Democratic vice-presidential nominee Senator Kamala Harris addressed the rally virtually.


Democrats used Kamala Harris instead of Joe Biden in the rally. Joe was made his speeches against Black Community. President Donald Trump starts his campaign from New Hampshire. The president scorned the recent protests over police brutality and white supremacy that have swept the country, trying to write them off as the work of “agitators”. The world-altering circumstances of the coronavirus pandemic have also altered the world of Trump's campaign. Trump has continued his negligence on coronavirus. He flouts COVID-19 safety guidelines at New Hampshire rally.

Pakistan won the 1992 WC under the leadership of one of the greatest all-rounders in the world Imran Khan. Now, he is leading the country as Prime Minister of Pakistan. Every cricket lover in the country wants to see the glory in the gentleman game after Imran became PM for Pakistan. But his leadership can’t give any assurance to other nations to play the game in Pakistan. New Zealand abandoned the historic Pakistan tour just a few minutes after the first ball was to be bowled in the first ODI in Rawalpindi. Both teams have considered this series as preparation for the ICC T20 World Cup. Kiwis cites ‘Security threat’ to its players in Pakistan. There is a question that arises why NZ came and cancelled the visit. This is a massive blow to Pakistan cricket who wants to revive the game in the country.
