R.A draft
” I have a dream” by Martin luther king jr speech deliver us about the injustices of segregation and discrimination of African American people that took place in united states. Dr. kings “i have a dream” speech interests me because the speech was for the people that needed to fight for equal rights, which made gathered them together and strong. A rhetorical analysis he uses in the speech is promises. African American were tired of promises which led them to believe that time was gonna give them freedom. Dr. king’s did not believe in promises because it was all about actions. Non violent actions. The promise of the constitution that gives equal rights to everyone, was only given to white folks.
