Answer 1

Answer: American citizens all deserve equal rights.

Explanation:

On August 28, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King gave a speech to around 250,000 people in front of the Lincoln Memorial as they gathered on the 100th year anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation.

In this speech, Dr. King spoke of his dreams for an America where people could share in the resources of the United States regardless of their race. Essentially, an America where American citizens all deserve equal rights to pursue their dreams in liberty and justice.
