I HAVE A DREAM

By Dr. Martin Luther King jr.

I Have a Dream is the famous name given to the ten minute public speech by Martin Luther King, Jr., in which he called for racial equality and an end to discrimination. King's delivery of the speech on August 28, 1963, from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, was a defining moment of the American Civil Rights Movement. Delivered to over 200,000 civil rights supporters, the speech is often considered to be one of the greatest and most notable speeches in human history and was ranked the top American speech of the 20th century by a 1999 poll of scholars of public address.

This story is about for freedom, when I read this story I noticed that before in American there is no freedom to the people because the way they treat the Negro people, they separate the white people to the black people. And this story entitled “I Have a Dream”, when I heard that title the first thing that come in my mind, someone have a goal or mission on his/her life, we’ll all of us have a dream in our life. This speech I Have a Dream makes the black people’s awake from being under of the white people, this is injustice because we all have freedom, God made all people here in this world have equality, we have the rights to live to the fullest not one will make us down to the earth because we all created by God and nobody in this world is perfect and at the eyes of God every human being are equal, no one will be on the top and no one will be on the bottom we are all equal. The key message in the speech is that all people are created equal and, although not the case in America at the time, King felt it must be the case for the future. He argued passionately and powerfully.
