"I have a dream" speech (:

Slavery began in America by the first Europeans in the 1600's. Since then we , as humans have come a long way from slaves like Olaudah Equiano to Rosa Parks sitting in the front of the bus all the way to Obama, president of the united states. It all of course started with a dream ! Martin Luther King Jr. , a civil rights leader inspired many people in his "I have A Dream " speech . He invigorated people to know that they don't have to settle that if they set their minds to a goal they can change the world and not be judged by the color of their skin but for the content of their character.

Martin Luther King Jr. approached a huge audience through his rhetorical appeal in various maneuvers such as patriotism by quoting the Constitution , the Declaration of Independence and the Emancipation act. He also used religion by using words like faith and hope. and by saying" this will be the day when all of Gods children will be able to sing with a new meaning" and " Thanks god all mighty we are free at last"and "..when all of gods children , black men and white men, jews and gentiles, protestants and catholics, will be able to sing in the words of the old negro spiritual". He also used Emotion by speaking the last parts of the speech from his heart not a Q card. It is too bad he never got to see all he inspired and worked for ! he certianly made his mark on the world and he will be remembered and honored for many years to come.
