Harvey Milk delivered the Hope Speech in 1978 to encourage LGBT people to have hope for a better future with equal civil rights. He uses rhetorical strategies like positive emotional language, repetition of "hope" and pronouns like "us" and "you" to make the audience feel included and empowered. The speech structure outlines recent discrimination, myths about homosexuality, and the importance of electing LGBT leaders to dispel myths and find hope again.

MARTIN LUTHER KING SPEECH 2
Introduction
Speech offers the basic component of addressing people in a public place. Through
speech and public speaking, a speaker is able to put intended thoughts across a multitude or a
group in order to influence action. Rhetoric theory in form of speech is dependent on the
speaker’s ability to collect the group into a single entity, study their communication needs and
use these needs to develop a sustainable speech mechanism that will keep the group glued to the
speaker. Therefore, communication skills are an important factor in rhetoric theory.
Development and conception of the basic components of rhetoric theory and criticism are a
necessity, not only for presentation of speech but also for participating in the communication
process to make it complete. One of the most celebrated public speakers is Martin Luther King.
As a public speaker, Luther used his communication skills as part of rhetoric theory to articulate
his ideas across the American people over issues of racial discrimination. The purpose of this
paper is to give rhetorical criticisms into Martin Luther King’s speech “I have a dream” and
analyze its persuasive speech components.
Description of the Artifact and Research Question
On 28th August 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. stunned the American nation with a speech
that has stayed in American lips for over 40 years. Luther stood up in the capital Washington DC
on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and gave his electrifying speech “I have a dream” with the
intention of uniting the white and black races in America. With this same speech, Luther sought
to unify the black race towards a common goal of accepting themselves regardless of the
discrimination they faced from their white counterparts. Luther had worked towards developing
a society that was free of any racial discrimination. He was an advocate of standing up for his
fellow Negro men in instances where they faced acts of extreme racial discrimination
MARTIN LUTHER KING SPEECH 3
(Manheimer, 2011). The speech came at a time when the black race was associated with slavery
and the African-American people were still considered property of the American people. Luther
had taken active contribution towards ending racial discrimination. He was one of the players
involved in establishing structures towards ending racial discrimination.
Luther had a soaring rhetoric demand for racial justice and development of an integrated
society. These pillars were the mantra for the black community and they are as important to them
as the US Declaration of Independence is to the American people. Luther’s speech came at time
when tension was high between the white and the black races, with all the negative societal
actions branded to the black race due to th ...

To explore our commonalities more, my job was to give this ongoing program a look and feel, and I also put together this draft presentation to help invite potential partners. You are welcome to join..
We are pleased to announce the re-issue of the booklet, What Democracy Feels Like. The occasion of the re-issue is our announcement of the first annual Paul and Joyce Aicher Leadership in Democracy Award. Paul and Joyce Aicher were the founders of what is now called Everyday Democracy. After Joyce passed away last fall, we wanted to find a way to honor the generosity, caring, and commitment to voice and justice that characterized Paul and Joyce’s lives. This award will acknowledge the work of an individual and/or organization that demonstrates the values on which Everyday Democracy was founded – voice, connection, racial equity, and communities that work for all.
Paul passed away just after this booklet was published in 2002, but the commitment and passion described in these pages continue to guide our work and have touched tens of thousands of people in hundreds of communities.
2. • This speech was delivered in 1978 by Harvey Milk
(1930-1978), american LGBT rights activist before
politician of the Democratic Party.
3. • As the title of the speech says, Milk’s aim is to
lead to and encourage young LGBT people to
have hope for a better tomorrow.
• Doing this, he uses many rhetorical strategies,
that provide for a better argument as well as
persuasion.
4. Lexical choice
• The use of lexis is thought to persuade and to
invite the audience to pay attention to the
theme of civil rights in the US and figthing for
homosexuals.
5. Word frequency and semantic fields
• Politics and Law (political, people, rights,
movement, nation)
• Human belonging (person, gay, homosexuals)
• Media (radio, newspapers, television/TV)
• Sociology (minorities, criminals, community)
• Hope
6. Social emotional style
• What Milk says appeals to the audience emotions. By
doing this, he makes the audience feel as if they are a
part of it all by using the words, “us’es”, “we” and
“you”.
• Milk appeals to positive emotions (first of all, hope).
He uses also emotional words by saying “you have to
give them hope”, which makes people feel as if they
can make a small of big difference to someone’s life.
• He says also the following phrases in his speech: “and
you’ve got to”, “hope for a better”, “stay and fight”,
that makes people feel obliged in a positive way to do
something about the issue.
7. Structure of Milk’s speech
• 1- Milk’s presentation
• 2-4 Recent discriminations of the authorities against homosexuals
• 5-7 Lies told by the media about the LGBT movement in the 70s
• 8-9 Anti-apartheid and discrimination in South Africa
• 10-13 Myths against homosexuals can be dispelled by electing
gay leaders
• 14-15 Importance of find again hope for a better future
• 16 LGBT election and people responsability in relaunching hope
8. Milk Claptraps
• References to hope and to LGBT people who
have lost it
• References to the oppressive regime of South
Africa
• Talking about the necessity of political
participation of homosexuals
• Thanking the audience at the end of the speech
9. The use of ‘three’
• “The Spanish community must not be judged by
Latin criminals or myths. The Asian community must
not be judged by Asian criminals or myths. The
Italian community must not be judged by the mafia,
myths”.
• “And you and you and you, you have to give people
hope”.
10. Pronouns
• The use of the pronouns «us», «we» and «you»
makes the audience feel they are the real
addressees of the speech.
11. Antithesis
• “It's up to CDC to put the pressures on Sacramento -
but to break down the walls and the barriers so the
movement to the left continues and progress
continues in the nation”.
• “Today, the black community is not judged by its
friends, but by its black legislators and leaders”.
12. Final annotations
• Milk speaks the audience’s language by using metaphors and
exaggerations.
• Most people would assume that the audience would be homosexual, but his
speech means that everyone, all of us can make a difference, that is the
main message he was trying to bring across in his speech.
• The speech, whose main point is at the end, is driven by a main theme of
fighting for homosexuals.
• The diction used is concrete and euphonious. It seems that Milk wrote the
speech with absolute certainty in himself and what he was fighting for.
• As regards the synthax, various sentence lengths have been used, showing
that Milk really believed in what he was speaking about.
