I Have a Dream

In the iconic speech delivered by King, he asked Americans to ensure that democracy materialized and served its intended objectives. He also addressed the need for change and the potential for hope in American society. In the speech, King stated that a great American signed the Emancipation Proclamation with the hope of setting many Negro free from being subjected to injustices, but a hundred years later, the Negro has not yet been set free. This is because the Negro is still being subjected to discrimination and live sunder immense poverty in the midst of individuals who are materially prosperous. In the speech, King insists that the Negro is living under a very shameful condition designed by American society.

In the speech, King states that they are in the capital to cash a check. When the constitution was being designed, they were putting all the people of American into consideration. All the people, despite their races, were supposed to be treated equally as per the constitution. As per the speech, this promise had not yet materialized since the people of color were still being discriminated against. In the speech, King states that black people are demanding freedom and justice, for they believe that there are plenty of opportunities for all individuals.

King said that it was time for making real the promises made by democracy. It was time to let go of the ideology of segregation and embrace racial justice. It was the right time for the nation to encourage the spirit of brotherhood and discourage racial injustices. The Negro was not going to rest until he was given his rights of citizenship. King stated that if the appropriate actions were not taken, the rebellion would continue shaking the foundations of the nation until when justice would be served. He encouraged those whom he was fighting with for the justice of the Negro never to feel guilty of any wrongful deed that they may be engaged in in the fight for justice. He, however, urged them to carry out their struggle with discipline and dignity. By this, he intended to inform the protestors to ensure that peaceful protests do not result in violence. King urged the Negro to ensure that they do not distrust all the white people as some had realized that they had the same destiny as the Negros.

King pledged that they must always march ahead, and there was no room for turning back. They would only end their march if the Negro was no longer being subjected to police brutality and other forms of injustices. He strongly believed that the conditions in which the Negro was in would be changed, and asked his people not to stumble in the valley of despair. King had a dream that the Negro would be free, and all the individuals would agree with him that all men are created equally.

King believed that there would come a time when both the Black and the white would sit and dinner together in the spirit of brotherhood. He also believed that the prevailing injustices and brutality on the Negros would end, and they are served with justice and immense freedom. He hoped that a time would come when people would cease being judged by their color but based on their characters. He believed that with the kind of faith they were portraying, they were in a position of transforming America and ensure that all individuals are served with justice. King believed that for America to rise and be great; it had first to serve all individuals equally. He called for freedom from all the corners of America and stated that if all would be served equally, then all God's children would be free.
