New generation of immigrants

Using terms Generation 1, 1.5, and 2 is appropriate, in my opinion. Obviously, if adults come to a new country, they will start their new life in a new environment which will be difficult for them to adopt. One or first is start point of everything, so these adults are beginning of new exploration.

In contrast, children born in another country will adopt more easily than their parents. However, these children can gain mostly everything and become citizen of the new country, they will still keep some kind of experience of the life that gained in the old country. They might miss something left behind as well as they can go back if they want. Therefore, Rumbaut may thinks that these children can not fully represent new generation of immigrants.

Furthemore, children born in the new country can represent new generation of immigrants because they were born and raised in the new country, and they think of the new country as their homeland. They possess everything from society and become real citizens of the new country.

I have a dream

The speech was given by Martin Luther King in August, 1963. In 1950's America, the equality of man envisioned by the Declaration of Independence was far from a reality. Not white people — blacks, Hispanics, Asians — were discriminated against in many ways, both overt and covert. The 1950's were a turbulent time in America, when racial barriers began to come down due to Supreme Court decisions, like Brown v. Board of Education; and due to an increase in the activism of blacks, fighting for equal rights.

Martin Luther King, Jr., a Baptist minister, was a driving force in the push for racial equality in the 1950's and the 1960's. In 1963, King and his staff focused on Birmingham, Alabama. They marched and protested non-violently, raising the ire of local officials who sicced water cannon and police dogs on the marchers, whose ranks included teenagers and children. The bad publicity and break-down of business forced the white leaders of Birmingham to concede to some anti-segregation demands.

Thrust into the national spotlight in Birmingham, where he was arrested and jailed, King organized a massive march on Washington, DC, on August 28, 1963. On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, he evoked the name of Lincoln in his "I Have a Dream" speech, which is credited with mobilizing supporters of desegregation and prompted the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The next year, King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
