When reading Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream” speech, I was so inspired by the message Dr. King was giving to the black people who were going through a very rough time in the South. One thing that really stood throughout the whole speech was the use of the religious allusions. The use of religious allusions was a way for Dr. King to bring every religion together to spread togetherness in a non-violent way. One example of this is at the end of his speech when he brings up the negro spirituals and saying that everyone is God’s child(408). You can tell that all Dr. King wanted to do was make sure everyone came together to end the racial divide.
