Eric J. sundquist and Mark. “kings Dream” published 2009

The author purpose of  “King Dream” was to show the audience that Martin Luther King had a dream that every one would look at each other equally  no matter the skin color, The main point of “kings Dream” was to stop segregation, discrimination, and freedom also King goal was for black to have job opportunities and voting rights . King did was not a believer of violence in protesting, he never lost faith to ability to achieve something he wanted to be done .

Yes i believe the claim because Martin Luther King wanted everyone to be look at the same in all aspects and not be treated different because of you skin color. All though  Martin Luther King didn’t complete all his dreams he completed the ones that was most important for the society. I don’t understand why would Martin Luther King put himself in so much danger in front of thousand of people with no security guard. Another information i would like to know about King is what inspired him to write the  i have to dream . One thing i would like to ask the author is how did you feel after witting “king Dream” and knowing how much he sacrifice to help us today? After reading it give me a understand on my research question that Martin Luther King Never given up on his dreams.

Two quotes that i think was important:

“I have a dream that four little children will one day live in a nation they will not be just by their color.” This quote means that king believe that kids should be able to come to gather no matter the skin color.

“We hold truth to be self evident that all men are created equal.” This quote mean that no matter the color of or skin we all are mad the same.

In the article the author talks about Martin Luther king hard work on making a change in the world, he also talks about how he sacrifice his life to thousands and people standing up saying a speech to help make this world a better place.

    1. What makes this submission seem complete or incomplete?
    Two of the three sources have a proper bibliographic citation, all three sources have a one paragraph summary, and all three sources have two quotes from each source. Only one of the three source has a one paragraph reflective response though, the second source doesn’t have a proper video mla citation, and less than four hundred words were written for each source, not including the quotes, so the submission looks incomplete to me.

    2. Record which source you find most interesting in the submission.

    I find Lensky’s second source to be the most interesting. It is an actual video recording of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech which tells you a lot about what Martin Luther King Jr. hoped to see happen one day in America.

    3. Identify one or two transition phrases your peer uses well.

    I think Lensky used the transition phrase “all though” pretty well.
