"I HAVE A DREAM" is one of the most commemorated speeches that changed the history of civil rights by Martin Luther King Jr. on August 28, 1963. The reason for this speech was to make a stand against racism in the United States. It was a "defining moment of the American Civil Rights Movement."
Martin Luther King Jr's speech consisted of many different speeches and events back in history. He went from the Declaration of Independence, Emancipation Proclamation, and actually quoted part of his speech from Abraham's Gettysburg Address and constantly quoted many repetitions from these speeches. He wanted to go back into history and talk about bringing their work and word back now to make a big impact. The ideas he included in his speech were meant to reflect all the experiences King had gone through toward the mistreatment of blacks. The key point he always said in his speech was "I have a dream." He had a dream for freedom for all. He wanted the future to be free from all racism, injustice, and cruelty. He had a dream for America and wanted it to come true.
After the speech had been said, the reactions and responses were very positive from audiences. He was mentioned to be the "symbolism of Ghandi and Lincoln." Also, he was targeted as a enemy of the United States because some organizations were over thinking that he will lead the followers and start a raid. He was only trying to influence those who are still in the racism mind to end. Successfully, he was able to reach the minds of those in Kennedy's Administration and was able to open up opportunities for other leaders to speak their minds for civil rights.
