This speech is one of the most famous speeches ever because it is basically what made the blacks and the whites become one. I think the part of the speech that is most memorable to me is when Martin Luther King says, "When we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!". I think the overall meaning of this speech is that whites and blacks aren't all the different that were all children of God. And that one day the blacks and whites would become friends and nothing can stop that. FACT: Martin Luther King was assasinated at 6:01 PM in Mephis, Tennessee on a balcony while making a speech.

This speech became important is because it aloud Negros to become free and Independent people like the white man at this time. I find his speech memorable mostly because it had used his vocabulary excellently and quoting the historically great people and the emancipation proclamation in just the correct way to get his point acrossed. Although I remember his speech for these reasons I disliked that he used "I have a dream" and "let freedom ring" a little too excessively. The overall purpose and reason for his speech is to declare blacks new found rights and independences. It was also to represent the voice of each and every individual black man and women in the country, him and his words representing the country. seems like a lot of pressure to me. Fun fact: Martin Luther King skipped two years of high School and Graduated college within 4 years with Bachelors degree.

This speech is one of the most famous speeches ever because it is basically what made people stop and think. Then brought black and whites together. The main mart that I remember is when he starts out and says "I have a dream." I think that the overall meaning is that people shouldn't be treated differently just because of lookds or skin color. We all are humans no matter what and are the same on the inside. The main purpose was trying to get people to understand we aren't different because of skin color and that we all should be treated equally. One fact about MLK is he was born on ..Jan, 15 1929

his is one of the most famous speeches of time because this was a big part of stopping segregation. I will always find it memorable that Martin Luther King Jr honors abraham lincolhn in his " I Have A Dream ' Speech. The overall meaning of this speech was to say that they stopped slavery for all to be treated equal but all are not treated equal when segregation is in the mix segegation means the practice or policy of creating separate facilities within the same society for the use of a minority group in other words the caucasion people had better treatment in society thn the african americans

This is one of the most famous speeches delivered because it told the black and whites that we need to treat each other equally. The most memorable part was when he said "All men are created equally!" The main meaning of this part is we were all created by the same god. We need to treat others like we want to be treated. He wanted everyone to become friends and not fight all the time. FACT: Dr. King was assisinated on a balcony while making a speech.

This speech is one of the most famous speeches ever because it is basically what made the blacks and the whites become one. When Martin Luther King said I have a dream. He is saying that he has a dream that all whites and blacks would get along.

It is one of the most famous speeches ever delivered because it has drastically changed our world today. Without that speech, our world would probably still be segregated.I think the most memorable part of the speech is: "When we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!". The overall meaning of the speech is to be free and have blacks and whites become friends. His purpose in saying this speech was to stop segregation and have more freedom than they did. MLK was assassinated at 6:01 pm in Memphis Tennesse on a balcony while making a speech.

The reason why this is one of the most famous speeches is that it brought black people and white people together to live in harmoney. I think it is the I have a dream part of the speech. To bring evrybody together and dont worry about the color of each others skin. To tell everybody that they need to get along with each other no matter what the color of there skin is because he wanted to live in a country that everybody lived together in peace and that is why he had hi speech.

This speech is one of the most famous because it was about how someone had a dream and actually took the time to get it into peoples heads. and it made us all realize that everyone is the same we just look different. I found that parts where he talks about how he has a dream that both black and whites will be able to go to school together and live in unity. The overall meaning is that we all are different but the same on the inside. that we shouldn't b against our own humanity just because of a different face. FACT. Dr. King was assassinated while during one of his speeches.
