I Had A Dream Speech
Martin Luther King Jr. was a powerful and influential speaker during his time. He had the "I had a dream" speech which was in front of the capital in order to talk to millions of Americans about racial equality and the fight for it. This speech was in response to the Emancipation Proclamation which was when blacks were declared equal. This speech was because although they were equal, they were still a slave to the whites. He knew that they were still discriminated against and knew it needed to change. He believed that the idea of freedom needs to include all races, and in order to achieve this violence cannot be used. He dreamed of a land where blacks and whites could walk together and live together in equality and a land where his children do not have to be afraid when out of the house. He also talked about how blacks and other races cannot dominate the whites either. They have to be equal and hand in hand other wise the nation cannot survive. When this is true, then he believed his dream would be fulfilled.
