He address the crowd of 250,000 gathered on theNational Mall. The speech became synonymous
with the aims of the march and the entire civilrights movement. His dream represented the dream
of millions of Americans demanding a free,equal, and just nation. He delivered to over 250,000
civil rights supporters in Washington and he wanted all of them to wake up from their slumber of
slavery and defend themselves and strive for justice. Although Martin Luther King's speech was
intended to motivate the millions of Negro slaves with the his tone and his style of delivering the
speech, the blacks had been witnessing injustice for all their lives, and through imagery he
demonstrated how they were robbed of their basic rights, "I Have A Dream," is ultimately
ineffective because the speaker doesn't effectively persuade the readers that how they are going
to ultimately achieve justice and be free from slavery through their actions and his speech fails to
deliver the basic blueprint for getting equality for everyone.
Martin Luther King highlights all the injustice issues of being robbed of their basic rights even
though in the past the Constitution stated that everyone would get their rights of life and now he
wants to regain the status of black men and make them socially acceptable. He commanded them
not to be violent and be peaceful in their protests and urged the people to strive for their rights
and emboldened them with his "I Have a Dream sentences. King's use of imagery helps show
the picture that was happening with the black men. His use of imagery at certain points at various
instances of the speech helps the reader to identify the reality the black men face.
