Mlk I Have A Dream Speech

There’s a wonderful quote by Martin Luther King, which is, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” This quote came from traumatic time where African Americans weren’t seen as humans, they weren’t heard, and they fought their hearts out in a battle where their opponent's choice of weapons were to emotionally and physically abuse and harass them. It is for this reason that the “I Have A Dream” speech by Dr. Martin Luther King is the most compelling piece of text; he explains thoroughly about how America represents freedom and their citizens are protected by laws and rights, but African Americans are denied of this opportunity even though they don’t deserve to be, using
This is displayed through 3 main ideas King points out: documents were signed to ensure equality-- same amount of rights and freedom, but citizens disagreed and ignored the laws, African Americans didn’t accept defeat so they fought their battles without violence until they were granted of what they deserve, and with their hope and faith their dream of being united together will hopefully someday become accomplished. The focus on how important documents were signed to free African Americans from captivity and slavery was supposed to become the history of how African Americans were handed freedom and right privileges became the fight to take back stolen opportunities; consequently, becoming the first main idea in Martin Luther King’s
This message was distributed throughout his speech by addressing 3 key points: citizens disobeying meaningful documents allowing and accepting African Americans into their society (in America) with the acknowledgement that they are equal, have rights, and freedom, the treatment white people have given them is inexcusable and unbearable, so they will fight peacefully to change that, and the dream of being united as one community will hopefully turn into reality somehow; however, they have a long way before they get there. The “I Have A Dream” speech by Dr. Martin Luther King, for this reason, is the most compelling piece of text; he preaches to his audience-- trying to persuade them to join the nonviolent fight with him to help African Americans gain freedom and rights, proving that everybody is equal and they don’t deserve less than what the documents or laws stated. Martin Luther King once said, “We may have come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.” He hopes that someday an African American’s dream of living in a society where diversity unites white people and African Americans together-- treating each other equally can turn into something
