This is one of the most important and famous speeches ever delivered because this speech is fighting for the freedom of african americans. My favorite part of this speech is when Martin Luther King says "I have dream, that one day..." The speech just means that all men and women of any race, culture, or religion can have freedom. Martin Luther King's purpose is that he wants everyone to have freedom. On April 4, 1968, a shot rang out as King stood on the motel's second-floor balcony. The bullet entered through his right cheek, smashing his jaw, then traveled down his spinal cord before lodging in his shoulder. Dr. King died at age 39.

This is one of the most famous speeches delivered because it fought for the freedom of many people. It delivered freedom to many African American people. The part in the speech that I find most memorable is “I have a dream” part. The overall meaning of the speech is that everybody should have equal rights. It shouldn’t matter if you are a different race. His purpose of making this speech was to show that everyone is the same. He wanted to say that he wanted everyone to be equal and not judged because of their skin color. Martin Luther King Jr. was born on January 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia.

Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech has always been one of the most famous speeches ever delivered for several reasons. First of all, the speech brought the problem of segregation to everyone's attention, where it could no longer be ignored. It made all people aware of the unfair treatment African American people were receiving. In addition, his speech helped change the course of history and made a major difference in America. It helped convince Congress to pass a new, crucial Civil Rights Law that freed all African American people from any type of segregation. Another reason the speech will always be remembered is because of the bravery Dr. King had to have to present it. Hardly anyone stood up against segregation, let alone voiced their thoughts before thousands of people! Dr. King had some serious courage in him. Out of the entire speech, I found some parts to be extra memorable. For example, Dr. King pointed out that, even after 100 years since the Emancipation Proclamation had been signed, segregation was still a problem, which I find upsetting and sad. Also, he told how he dreamed that one day, his children would be judged by their character, rather than the color of their skin. Finally, I enjoyed the "let freedom reign," part. Dr. King repeatedly said to let freedom reign from every place in the country! He said there should be no room for segregation because we will be completely filled with freedom and fairness! The overall meaning of this speech is to prove to everyone that all people deserve to be treated equally and not judged by their skin color. Dr. King's purpose for writing the speech was to convince the People of America, as well as Congress, that segregation is wrong and extremely unfair. He also wanted African Americans to band together and unite in an attempt to make a major stand against the government. Moving on, and interesting fact about Dr. King is that he skipped both ninth and eleventh grade, and he entered college at the young age of fifteen.-Kylie Bushko 6th period

This is one of the most famous speeches ever delivered, because this is the speech that later freed the African Americans. Martin Luther King is one of the world’s best known advocates of non-violent social change strategies. I find the most memorable part is "I have a dream..." This quote is very well known. The purpose of Martin Luther King's speech is to gain freedom. Before and during his time as a civil rights activist, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Baptist preacher at a small church in Montgomery, Alabama. During his time as a pastor and activist, Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested a total of 20 times and was reportedly beaten at least four of those times.

This is a famous speech because it was about freedom against racism. The most memorable part to me is when he said "I have a dream..." The overall meaning of the speech is to have rights and to not be against blacks or whites. The purpose is so everyone can have rights to anything. And interesting fact is that he had skipped ninth and eleventh grade and entered collage at 15.

Unknown said...

This is one of the most famous speeches ever delivered for many reasons. First, after he gave this speech it gave blacks many rights that they never had before. After his speech blacks and whites were no long separated from each other. The speech was mainly about getting more freedom for African Americans, that there is no difference between them and whites. I think that the most memorable part of the speech is when he says, “I had a dream…” This is one of the best known quotes. An interesting fact to me was that Martin Luther King Jr. skipped ninth and eleventh grades and entered college at the age of only 15. Dr. King’s speech had a huge effect on the world and everyone in it.

This speech is one of the most important speeches ever delivered because it began the movement against segregation. I find the part the most memorable when he states that I have a dream that one day both blacks and whites will get along. Those words from him mean a lot to many people including myself. The overall meaning of the speech is that one day segregation will not be I'm existence but a thing of the past. Dr. Kings purpose for this speech was to convince people that we can all get along and not judge by our skin color. Martin Luther King Jr.'s real name was not Martin, it was Michael which was his fathers name also.

This speech is the most famous speeches ever because it was martin luther kings dream speech about abolishing segregation. The very end of the speech is the best because he really puts his idea on desegragation. The overall meaning to me it that he wanted his race to be free amongst the white people. His purpose was to give the african americans a hope in which they would have equal rights as whites. Martin died april fourth 1968 he will forever be memorized.

This speech is very famous for it's symbol of freedom. It was a grand speech that was one of the things that gave hope to the people during the civil rights movement. It inspires people and helped people get through the movement and told people that it was alright to dream. Martin Luther King died on April 4, 1968.

The speech is the most important speech because it helped end slavery. The most memorable part of the speech in in the begining, when he says "I have a dream, that one day black children and white children will hold hands and play games together." He wanted to express his feelings and hope for equality. He also invented peanut butter.

Martin Luther King's speech, "I Have a Dream," is one of the most famous speeches ever delivered because it is about the freedom of African Americans. It's not really a part of the speech I found memorable, it was the turn out of people who supported him. I believe the overall meaning and purpose of Dr. King's speech was that even though you may be different, you shouldn't be treated any different. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated at a Motel in Tennessee by James Earl Ray. Many people grieved over the loss of the hero.

This is one of the most famous speeches ever because no African American had ever spoken so freely and openly about freedom of African American's and white people. They never had because they didn't want to risk their lives' for a speech like he did. My favorite part is when he said" I had a dream that one day little black boys and girls could hold hands with little white boys and girls". The speech was to prove a point that African Americans and white people are no different and that skin color should have nothing to do with how we live our lives. Martin Luther King died when he was only 39 years old

This speech is one of the most important and famous. The reson why would be it is for the rights of all african americans. The part of the speech that I think is most memorable, is the the part when he says "I have dream." The meaning of that is he hoped one day everybody would be treated as equals. He had hoped for everyone to be treated the same. Martain Luther King was as assasinted on April 4, 1968 in a hotel.

Unknown said...

This speech is one the most famous speeches ever spoken because it was a man who spoke up for what he believed in. He knew, before he gave the speech, that he would be arrested and yet did it anyway. Martin Luther King was trying to expose his feeling about equality and freedom. He said in his speech that he had a dream that everyone would have freedom. His purpose for doing this was to give hope to others and start a revolution that would later change the world. I find the part of the speech when he includes, "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed." Dr. King gave a speech that will forever be in history.

This speech is one of the most famous speeches because it proves that there should be no separations and everyone should live together equally. The part I found most memorable was when he was talking about how black and white boys and girls should be able to play together. This speech's meaning and purpose is to get it in the heads of the people of America, that segregation is not good. It's wrong. Everyone should be able to be together and have friends that are maybe not the same skin color. Think about it. A lot of athletes today are black, and they play those sports right along white and other color skinned people and they are the best of friends. If it wasn't for Dr. King, that wouldn't be happening. No singers, musicians, doctors, actors and actresses, nothing. I t wouldn't be here. A couple interesting facts about Dr. King is that when he was 12, he tried to commit suicide, and his original name was not Martin, it was Michael.

This is one of the most famous speeches because a man stated an opinion that others who shared it would not, and helped to form modern society. I most enjoyed the "let freedom reign" part, because I think that the word "freedom" is perfect for describing the speech. Dr.King was arrested about 20 times.

Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech was a very important one. As an African American, Martin had a hard life as a kid. He was discriminated against simply for the color of his skin. This is why he wrote the famous speech that helped changed our country. He made people realize that African Americans were being treated very unfairly for no reason, and that it needed to stop. He played a big role in the civil rights movement and made our country a place of peace and equality. Martin also won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for all of his accomplishment. Four years later, he was shot at the young age of 39 in Memphis, Tennessee.

This speech, given by Martin Luther King, is such a famous speech mainly because it was given to help fight for the freedom of African Americans all across America. It also presented how cruel people were treating African Americans, and what a big problem segregation was. The parts of the speech that I found to be the most memorable were when Martin Luther King said that he has a dream that some day people would be judged by their character, and not by the color of their skin. Another memorable line from his speech was when he repeated "Let freedom reign" many times. I believe the main meaning of this speech was to inspire the citizens of America that everyone should have equal rights, not depending on the skin color. Lastly his purpose for making this dangerous speech was to create a better living environment for the many future generations of African Americans, and to also show that it only takes one person to make a huge change. Martin Luther King was killed at the age of 39 by a man named James Earl Ray.

This speech is such a famous speech because it made more people realize about segregation. After he gave the speech so many people realized what was going on in the world. Martin Luther King Jr's speech helped stop the segregation, and helped give freedom to African Americans. The most memorable thing to me is when he says " I have a dream." That part has always stuck out in my mind for some reason. The purpose of this speech was to give equal rights to everyone. He was tired of people being treated different just because of the color of skin they had. One interesting fact about Martin Luther was that he died April 4th, 1968 at the young age of 39. So the overall reason for this speech was to put an end to segregation. That is just a little bit of the things Martin Luther King Jr did.

This speech is so importent because he had a dream that African Americans could have freedom and because of him they no do. In my opinion the most memorable this is the minute he says "I Have a Dream" this is a very famous quote. With out Martin Luter King a normal day today would be completly changed. His purpose was that every person will have power and equal rights. A fact about him was that his job was a minister.

This speech is definatly one of the most famous speeches! Reason being, it is one of the most historical parts of united states history!There were early signs of racism when there was slavery. Luckily the north won and there is no more slavery. But he spoke about how men are created equal. Which is most definattly my most memorible part. All he ever wanted is for blacks and whites to be together as one. Well In todays age it is. Sadly Martin luther King Jr. could never see... he was murdered! Although he still acts on these days!

Martin Luther King wanted blacks to have the same rights as whites.

King's speech is one of the most famous speeches ever delivered because it fought for the freedom of all African Americans. The most memorable part of King's speech is when he said I have a dream. The meaning of this speech is to show that skin color and beliefs don't have to be the same as yours for those people to have equal rights. Everyone deserves equal rights no matter where you're from. King's purpose for his speech is to show that all American citizens are equal even if they have different skin colors. King spent his honeymoon in a funeral parlor because his friend owned the parlor and offered to let King use it for his honeymoon.

This is one of the most famous speeches to ever be delivered because it was a speech that touched the heart of every person, no matter the age, race, or gender. Throughout history people have been discriminated against and this speech rose to hold the purpose to put that discrimination, oppression, and prejudice to an end. One part of the speech that I find extremely memorable is when King says "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". This part of the speech gives me chills every time since it is so moving to me. I would say that the overall meaning of this speech was to show that any and every person, no matter what race, gender, culture, or religion, should have the same rights as another person. The meaning is that the prejudice that plagued America and even the entire world throughout history is entirely wrong. His purpose is to change the look on life that many people had and to show that every person is equal. One interesting fact is that he skipped 9th and 11th grade in high school and entered college at the age of 15. He later earned a bachelor's degree at 19.

Firstly, this is one of the most remembered speeches because someone stepped out and spoke the truth to the world. If anyone didn't do what he had done, we would have been like how they were back then. One of the most rememberable moments in that speech is "I have a dream, that one day...." This had moved the whole country, even the world that everyone should be all even no matter their sex, color, culture, religion and beliefs. By the way, Martin Luther King Jr. changed his name from Michael to Martin after his father adopted the name Martin in honor of him.

This is one of the most famous speeches because it was a major point in the fight against racism in the United States. It is a very powerful speech that shows that we should all be treated equally and shouldn't have standards depending on race or religion. I believe the most memorable part of the speech was the very first line, "I have a dream" because it was the beginning of a huge change in America regarding equality.

I really enjoyed that part because it showed that right now everyone one can be free. The meaning of this speech was to prove every person who as been treated differently because of their race or culture is equal to everyone. An interesting fact about Martin Luther King Jr. is that he entered college at the age of fifteen.

This is a very famous quote among all. It serves to many people as a symbol of freedom for many and everybody. The "I have a dream" part always sticks in a person's mind. Martin Luther helps to show that everybody no matter what color skin you have or what religion you believe in, everybody has their rights to freedom. Every single human being on this planet is born being different than you maybe you may look the same but, everybody should deserve to be free even with each flaw or difference they have. Martin Luther's speech caused people to actually give attention to segregation. I believe that without people like him that lived in the past, this world would still separate by race or culture and religion. It's tragic that he was killed on April 4th by a person who was totally against all races having freedom. Martin Luther King Jr. died at the young age of 39 but, his great speech and will to give everybody freedom is something nobody shall ever forget.

Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, is one of the most memorable speeches ever delivered because of the purpose that it was told. That specific reason being to help change the view that many people had grown to have over the years and show the people why it was wrong and unfair. I feel the part that was most memorable to me is when he says, "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". One fact about Martin Luther King is that he received a Nobel Prize in 1964.

This speech is indeed the most important speech of the civil rights movement. If the " I Had a Dream" speech was never spoken, we might still have racism against African Americans. My favorite part is, well... all of it! I thought it was great that one person could change the fate of American history. It is also astonishing that Mr. King had the nerve to speak out, to not just sit there and be mistreated. No one deserves to be treated like the African Americans were treated in that time period. April 4, 1968 was a tragic day as Martin Luther King Junior had a bullet rip open his flesh while standing on a hotel's balcony. It is just terrible that such a great guy had to go so tragically.

King delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech, which cemented his status as a social change leader and helped inspire the nation to act on civil rights. The part that I think the speech that was more memorable is "I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow" that was probably the best part of the speech but yet the whole entire speech is really good also fun fact about Dr. King he was later named Time magazine's “Man of the Year.”
