25 August 2013 SOAP: MLK “I Have a Dream” speech Martin Luther King’s speech was not nearly a “cry” but a declaration to the change he wanted to see within the United States. In his speech, he speaks of his dreams where both white and black citizens can get along without the barricade of “prejudice”. He speaks of states that continue to accept slavery such as Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana. His subject is slavery, but he also talks about freedom for all of god’s “children”.
October 16, 1965 was the day he recited in front of the Lincoln memorial in Washington DC. In the beginning of his speech Martin Luther King refers back to Lincoln’s signing of the Emancipation Proclamation five years ago, which acknowledged Lincoln in according to the setting. The occasion was a time where slavery was still apparent, where discrimination was a heavy issue.
Martin Luther King’s audience was all of America. He knew his speech would be viewed on television as well as the radio, making sure that his speech opened a door for change in the country. Even though his audience was all of America, his speech was geared towards white and black men and women.
As he spoke towards black and white Americans, he aimed for hope and change. His purpose was to project equality for all of America. His significant “dreams” stated that he wished upon a time where all races walk the street together, including black and white. He wanted to open the eyes of Americans to follow what was written in the Constitution and The Declaration of Independence, which stated that all men were created equal.
The speaker was Martin Luther King. He was an American clergyman, activist, and leader of the African American Civil Rights
