Dr. King's I Have A Dream Speech
Washington, D.C. August 28, 1963
Civil Rights Leader Martin Luther King Jr. stood in front of a quarter of a million people to give his historic “I Have A Dream Speech.” The audience was ecstatic; everyone was waiting to see what Dr. King had to say. No one knew how historic this speech would be, but everyone knew Dr. King had some motivational word to preach, and a powerful lesson to teach.
Dr. King’s speech was about the fight against racism, and for Civil Rights. African Americans who followed Dr. King fought non-violently for their Civil Rights until they got them. Dr. King had a great message for the crowd, and they all responded to his message, the way he wanted them to. Freedom, equal rights, and the end of segregation, were just some of the things Dr. King talked about in his speech. He had the crowd with him every step of the way.
Most of the people in the crowd were African Americans, however there were a lot of white people in the crowd who were equally supportive of Dr. King, and his dream. Dr. King said, that he dreamed of a day that sons of slaves, and sons of former slave owners would one day be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood.
