Answer:
1. King's claim is that 'the Negro is still not free after 100 years.'
2. To support his claim, he explained that the Negro is still plagued by police brutality, denied lodging in motels, can only live in ghettos, and have to endure their children being segregated upon by signs that read, "White only".
Explanation:
In Dr. Martin Luther King's speech, "I have a dream", he stated that 100 years after the Emancipation proclamation by Abraham Lincoln, the Negro is still not free. It seemed like they were given a bank check, whereas the bank itself was bankrupt.
To support the claim that the Negro is still not free, he recounted the several injustices and acts of segregation, perpetrated by the whites upon them. One of them is that they were not allowed access to motels when night falls upon them during transit.
