MLK's "I have a dream" speech

Martin Luther KingsJrs famous "I havea dream" speech isabout the past of African American'sin the United States, and how they were stilltreated to that day. He speaks of the EmancipationProclamation and the Declaration of Independence. He uses those historicdocuments as referenceto why African Americans are no different than the white man. HE talks about how they are badly treated and what couldbe done to fix this. He wishes for a better future for African American children growing up. None of the inequality/racist things that happen make sense.They are inhumane according to King.
