Untitled Slide
- What arguments did Dr. King make in his "I Have a Dream" speech? Why do you think the speech was so effective? Dr. King's main argument is that both the U.S. constitution and the Emancipation Proclamation remain unfulfilled in their intent. Those of African descent in America remain in bondage from unfair treatment. Discrimination based on skin color keep minorities in the U.S. on an "island of poverty."
