The “ I Have A Dream” speech was told by the man named Martin Luther King Jr. He was a very important man in the time and he made a speech calling out the people that were racist and disrespectful. He told the speech to try to end the disrespect and inequality. People were rude and didn’t understand that black lives mattered and that they had the same thought, dreams, and beliefs. Martin Luther King Jr. wanted the best of his people and to help more with his speech he used quotes from another speech called the “Gettysburg Address”. He tried to show people that Abraham Lincolin, a white man, even wanted the best for black people. Black is just a color, a human… is so much more. We may be different, but we are strong as one. Because of using quotes from a speech that happened a while back he was able to put some history and more detail into his speech to get people to understand what he was getting at.
