had giving out the “I have a dream” speech was equal rights. Although they had passed the Constitution and declaration of independence which had promised rights of life, liberty, and happiness they were not provided with any of those following rights. They still were abused, lynched by white people, and unable to fully exercise their right to vote. According to the speech, “I had a dream” it says, “When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” This shows that even though the declaration of independence and the constitution was passed, they were still treated the same. They had allowed African Americans to vote, but Caucasians began to lynch them to intimidate other African Americans. They still did not receive any rights that white people got such as the rights the vote, be segregated, and more. In conclusion, Martin Luther king Jr.’s persuasive speech has changed the world for the better. We now live in a world where everyone is treated equally and no longer separated due to race. We can get a job no matter what their skin color is or go to school with any
