I have a dream speech

Review Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream speech (text, http://www.archives.gov/press/exhibits/dream-speech.pdf, and/or YouTube).

Answer ONE of the following questions. 

1. King’s highly metaphoric speech appeals to emotions. But it also offers reasons. What reasons, for instance, does King give to support his belief that African Americans should not resort to physical violence in their struggle against segregation and discrimination?

2. King delivered his speech in 1963, more than forty years ago. In a well developed paragraph, argue that the speech still is— or is not— relevant. Or write a well developed paragraph in which you state what you take to be the “ American dream,” and argue that it now is or is not readily available to African Americans or other  groups.
