One of the most popular speeches in the whole United States was spoken by Martin Luther King Jr. He was the first black man to ever become a president because of whites’ discrimination against the black. Martin Luther King Jr. changed the course of history. He will go down as the president who played a key role in the American Civil Rights movement.
When Martin Luther King Jr. said, “I have a dream.” That was not true. The dream had him. The dream wanted to have him talk about discrimination and equal rights. Martin Luther King Jr. quoted the Declaration of Independence, all men are created equal. He wanted everyone to know, not just his race, but every other race.
Martin Luther King Jr. faced many hard and difficult challenges and he did not want it to get any harder so he thought of this very speech to tell everyone else. He did not want the black men to be negro slaves nor wanted them to be treated worse than the whites. The white race had better stores to buy from, better houses, and better schools.
Martin Luther King Jr. was talking about all the people who wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Declaration itself for everyone is equal and there is no better or worse person in this world. Everyone shall be equal and there should be equality in humanity.
I thought that this video was very powerful and the speech. The whole thing changed everyone’s thoughts and he changed many minds through talking. His dream, his courage, and his dignity allowed him to say this and change many minds, many thoughts, and many ideas.
