Martin Luther King 's I Have A Dream Speech

The United States of America is the most racially diverse country in the world where many races are striving to live in peace and tolerance. Therefore, multiple civil rights activists appeared to try and establish a better environment. One such man willing to make a change, author Martin Luther King, Jr, wrote the speech “I Have a Dream,” delivered August 28, 1963 in Washington D.C.. King advocated that African American men were continuously discriminated upon injustice, equality, and peace due to the color of their skin.

Martin Luther King, delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech for freedom on August 28, 1963. He presses for equal treatment and improved circumstances for black and stresses on a necessity of eradicating institutional racial inequalities. King demands the same justice and equality for black Americans that is promised to all citizens in the Declaration of Independence. He does not show hatred against whites, and he is against color discrimination and racial prejudice. King mentioned specific states in the South: Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, and South Carolina. Those were some of the most racist states back then. Also, King believes black men and black women must not let this one incident lead them to hate all people of different races

King had been drawing on material he used in the “I Have a Dream” speech in his other speeches and sermons for many years. The finale of King’s April 1957 address “A Realistic Look at the Question of Progress in the Area of Race Relations,” envisioned a “new world,” quoted the song “My Country ’Tis of Thee,” and proclaimed that he had heard “a powerful orator say not so long ago, that… Freedom must ring from every mountain side…. Yes, let it ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado…. Let it ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia. Let it ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee. Let it ring from every mountain and hill of Alabama. From every mountainside, let freedom ring” (Papers 4:178─179). King borrowed this final segment from a speech that Archibald Carey, a minister, politician, and King family friend, delivered at the 8 July 1952 Republican National Convention. King capped the 1957 speech by paraphrasing lyrics from the spiritual Free at Last: “And when that happens we will be able to go out and sing a new song: ‘Free at last, free at last, great God almighty, I’m free at last’” (Papers 4:179).

Universally each nation has a government and it has its laws which will grant some people the basic rights of freedom and others are denied to the access of these rights.

Freedom is an illusion where it seems to be that some but not all people are special enough to deserve these rights.
