LAD#26- "I Have a Dream Speech"

Summary of "I Have a Dream Speech"
In Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech, he talks about the adversity that black men and women faced in the racist 1960s. Not only does he discuss the struggles that they faced, but he also looks to the future in hopes of an end to discrimination and racial equality one day, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." King's powerful argument is only emphasized by his repetition of the phrases "I have a dream..." and "Let freedom ring.." King's speech is truly inspiration when looking to the future, it lit the fire in many peoples' souls to fight even harder for the end of discrimination.
