This memorable and famous speech by Martin Luther King Jr., emphasizes that all men are created equal. King believed in racial justice. He sets goals, establishes hope and determination, and encourages freedom throughout the nation. He acknowledges the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation and how it was a beacon light of hope to the Negro slaves. However, these Negro slaves were still served unjustly after one hundred years. King talks about the discrimination and poverty of the Negros. America has not followed the words of the Constitution..."Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Those words were supposed to guarantee the equality of all men. King says that we need to have dignity and discipline in this nation. Though we all may face trails and tribulations, King had a dream 'deeply rooted in the American dream.' With faith and hope, King believed that we all will be free one day.
