Answer:

Explanation of the sentence: Timothy McVeigh was neither Arab nor Muslim and provoked a terrorist attack by being an American boy, respectable and admired.

Explanation:

Timothy McVeigh was a New Yorker, white, straight, and a boy decorated for his actions in the Gulf War. In other words, he was the American standard, an admirable person and one that made the country proud, but this proved to be a big lie. That's because Timothy was responsible for a terrorist attack on the bomb that killed around 168 dead and left 850 injured in Oklahoma.

The attack was linked to some radical Islamist group, nobody imagined that an American would do that to his own people. However, by discovering that Timothy was the culprit and who had no connection with Islam, the population could rethink their concepts in relation to religions and patriotism.

Analyze the connection MLK makes between the Emancipation Proclamation and the current situation African Americans were experien
Colt1911 [192]

Martin Luther King makes the point that 100 years after slaves were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, they are not truly free due to continued segregation.

The entire point that Martin Luther King makes in his speech is that African Americans are still not truly free because of segregation. He continues this idea that America did not live up to the promises made by Lincoln in the Emancipation Proclamation when he uses the extended metaphor of a check for the promises that were made. The other options are simply incorrect. While MLK does refer to slavery, he knows that the original form of slavery has ended so he is not asking for freedom from slavery, but rather from segregation. MLK does not thing life was going very well for African Americans, and he doesn't express extreme anger towards Abraham Lincoln.
