Answer:

An extended metaphor with which Dr King compares the failure of the government to cater for her black African-American citizens to a bounced or failed check.

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech used to describe a object or scenario by comparing it with another object or thing. (for example 'light of hope to millions of Negro slaves'  as used in line 2 of the Speech)

In lines 17-31 of the 'I Have A Dream Speech' by Dr Martin Luther King, Dr. King uses an extended metaphor to describe the failure of the US Government to cater for the rights of its African-American citizens by comparing the Government's action to a bounced check  which is symbolic of a failed promise or promises.

The promise to all Americans regardless of race or color as enshrined in the American constitution was a guaranteed access to civil rights and liberties.

That promise was however not granted to the African-American  community during Dr King's lifetime prior to making the famous speech

The excerpt from US courts government Supreme Court landmark series tinker V Des Moines The decision to this day read the passag
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Tinker v. Des Moines was a ruling of the Supreme Court of 1969, through which an interpretation of the right to freedom of expression enshrined in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution was made.

In the events that motivated the cause, anti-war and pacifist students from different high schools in the city of Des Moines, Iowa, began to carry black ribbons on their arms as a protest and a sign of mourning for the lives of the young Americans and Vietnamese soldiers who were dying in battle.

School district authorities punished these students with suspensions and other disciplinary sanctions, against which their families sued the district. The Court, finally, established that the fact that these children wore black bracelets was part of their right to freedom of expression, and that the Des Moines school district could not limit this right, especially when the fact that they wore said bracelets did not impede the normal development of school activities or violate the rights of other children or third parties.
