LAD #26: MLK's 'I Have a Dream' Speech

The emancipation proclamation brought hope and joy to African America, but 100 years later, they are still hoping for the freedom they thought had been achieved. The nation said all men were created equal, but that statement has not been honored. So African-Americans went to the capital to demand the freedom and justice they deserve. The time for equality is now, the nation will not rest until equality has happened, but everyone must also not become people of hatred or violence. All brothers white and black, have their freedoms encased with one another. People must keep walking forward, as long as there is not equality, then African-Americans will not be satisfied. Do not despair though, changes will come. MLK then states that he has a dream, and says many of them including his children will "live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their heart." With the faith in these dreams, America will truly become a brotherhood. Let freedom ring.
