Article 1
1. The biggest thing I never knew was hoe monumental it was due to the fact that he changed everything at the last moment. I never knew he had even changed it up.

3. “These people out there don’t know it yet, but there about to go to church.” I like this one because it reminds me of school and more specifically my Engineering teacher, Coach G. he always lectures to us and sometimes even points out that he’s preaching to us, he even has his own “Bible” on how to do well in the class. But outside his call church can be a lot more than that, since religion is a lot of what people believe just from growing up. And overall that’s what the “I Have a Dream” speech was, a trip to church.
4. One of the Allusions used is when it says Singer Mahalia Jackson. When it references her telling King to “tell ‘em about the dream”. It’s relevant because if she actually did this I truly could have affected his speech.
5. I think it’s ironic when it says 100 years after the emancipation proclamation. This was supposed to free all slaves, but it didn’t equal them in class. So even a hundred years later King has to fight for the simple class equality.

3. The author’s purpose is the fifty year anniversary. But it has relevance to us because along with Kings Speech they
