<span>"Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. "

In the second paragraph he is referring to Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation which was made a hundred years before King's speech, "I Have a Dream." Lincoln was a huge contributor to the fight against discrimination. 

An allusion is a literary device where the speaker or the author refers directly or indirectly to a well-known person, place, event or literary work. In this case it was used to contribute to the message of what he is conveying.

How and why had blacks, particularly in the south, been subjected to second-class citizenship by 1900? why were jim crow laws pr
kirill [66]
They were segregated and forbidden from doing numerous things because of the jim crow laws. These laws established where they would be able to live and where not, where they would be able to go to school and where not, and in what manner would be they allowed to vote, which usually resulted with them not voting. They was a systematic racism scheme in the south to enable this.

They were found in the south because that's where slavery had been a dominating force and in response to the reconstruction era, the white racist governments from the south imposed numerous laws. Although they couldn't enslave african-american people, they would remove them from all spheres of society completely.

Jim Crow was a character made by white people which showed an african-american person who was depicted as a racial stereotype caricature which spread fast and reinforced the idea that black people were either stupid or are tricksters or are malicious or similar things. The set of laws that reinforced these ideas then was called Jim Crow Laws because of the caricature.
