On August 28, 1963, during the march for jobs and freedom, MLK delivered his I Have A Dream speech. It is one of the most famous speeches of all time. The purpose of his and many other speeches was to gain freedom for African Americans.
Many people all over the United States supported this major event. Martin Luther King´s speech played a very important role in the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Later, his speech helped the signing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Kennedy was happy about the speech because he hoped all the other politicians would approve the act. Although MLK was assained, his speech is one of the most powerful ones. Thanks to his speech and many others, African Americans now have the same rights as all the other Americans.
These are the effects of the I Have A Dream speech. All the African Americans in the USA have the same rights as the rest of USA.
