All names, though some common and others strange are empowering. For example: The name Lloyd means "Sacred", Sultan means "King", Lilith means "Night", really its the meaning behind the names or even its origins that make it empowering. A name can be considered limited when it was made up by the mother and there is no exact definition behind the name or the name is short and it seems to have very little significance. The way we can make that our names are always empowering is to remember that our names are part of our identity, our names have value and a significance or definition behind that make us unique.

Answer is A. It develops a shocking and horrifying image of the narrator's experience followed by his attempts to forget what happens.
As the journey goes on, the narrator describes the places he visits as really obscure and sinister, places where he does not want to be. Time drags and every place looks the same, so he unconsciously wants this images to slip out of his memory.
In 1863 Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation to free the slaves. He is the "great American" in whose "symbolic shadow" the attendees of King's address literally stand on the grounds before the Lincoln Monument in Washington DC, in August of 1963. However, Dr. King's reference is somewhat ironic, here, as he goes on to emphasize that precisely one hundred years later, black people remain, by any measure of equality, fundamentally not free, not free to vote, not free to peaceably assemble, not free from violence. While Lincoln's decree became "a beacon of hope" for African Americans, they exist still within the shadow of injustice and continued oppression. Further, assembled on the grounds of the nation's capital, it is manifestly apparent that the promises signified by this city designed (In part by black architect, Benjamin Banneker) as a series of monuments celebrating democracy, have not been delivered to black Americans. They have no political "capital" in this place, and they have come, in part, to reclaim and "cash the check" that came back marked "insufficient funds" on the promise of equality established by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
