King used imagery and metaphors to powerfully represent his ideas on the discrimination in America during the 1960’s. One example of King’s imagery in metaphors is when he proclaims that they would “be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.” This shows that
