1 Name 1 Name EN 101 Dr.X DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. SPEECH Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s ‘I have a dream’ speech was delivered on August 28, 1963 and witnessed by thousands of Americans and people all over the world. At the time, the black Americans or otherwise referred to as Negros were being mistreated at the hands of the whites. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at that time led a group of black Americans to demand for equality between all the Americans irrespective of their racial orientations. He argues that the Emancipation Proclamation that all the American people will be equal irrespective of their races was signed long ago but even after those years the Negros was still languishing in sheer discrimination and poverty (Little & Brown 64). Dr. King succeeded in getting people sympathy by using Logos, pathos and ethos. Dr. King argues that the authors of the constitution guaranteed all the Americans, whether black or white rights of happiness and life in equal measure. He urges all the American people to implement the promises of democracy and ensure justice for all. He argues that all the Negros will not rest until their citizenship rights are granted.

He clearly puts his points into the minds of his audience and the American people at large. His speech is compounded by a set of repetitive words and a rhythmic delivery. Such words as ‘Let freedom ring……’ and ‘We can never be satisfied’ are constantly repeated to clearly drive the point and thus bring out a rhythmic action. The speech is delivered in an utmost confidence that can only amaze the reader. He delivers it with self-belief, fearless and is eager to drive his point, this was despite the already tense relationship between whites and blacks. He doesn’t fear to point out that a day shall come when all the people will share the facilities only reserved for the whites. In the speech, Martin really connects with his audience. He speaks to them in a one on one basis and directly points their rights to them. Such a speech is never boring to the reader since the reader acts as the audience and feels the connection with the orator. The fact that D.
