"Nothing Is More Important than Thinking Dialectically" "Are you Sure?"

ASA 2 Section A02

In “Nothing Is More Important than Thinking Dialectically”, Grace Lee Boggs is explaining her ideas of giving Asian Americans a stronger voice. In response to Boggs’ ideas, I believe her ideas are expressed beautifully, but lacks realistic thought. She wants the Asian American population to be more acknowledged. She talks about the idealistic goals, yet she does not really explain how we will get there. I am fascinated how she compares struggles of African American and Asian Americans. In the end she mentions Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. recalls a part of his speech and applies it to the action she is demanding for. Although, she can relate this movement she that is trying to spark with many historical events, there is more emotion behind her thoughts than logic.
