In Mr.Herbert article he describes that "there are millions who are still out in the cold, caught in a cycle of poverty, ignorance, illness and violence that is taking a horrendous toll." I do agree with Mr.Herbert on the notion of that there are many individuals who are stuck in a continuous cycle because of their backgrounds. For many it is hard to step out of this cycle because it is the only thing they know since it is what they are familiar with.
Some similarities between Mr.Herbert article and Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream Speech" is talking about the struggles of African Americans. They both talk about how blacks in America are living in poverty and are not treated the same as other Americans. Another similarity between the article and speech is wanting more for the black population of America. But there are differences, for example Mr.Herbert talks about needed a new voice and leader for another movement. Where during the time of when MLK gave his speech he was willing to be the face and voice of a civil rights movement.
