Martin Luther King Jr. starts his famous "I have a Dream" speech by comparing the situation in America at that time, to the Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, a time when African Americans were not free. He stated that Black people still being suppressed and that the segregation and discrimination of African Americans was not fair. There was no time like the present to fix the racial barriers in America, and MLK Jr. believed that it was time to take a stand. Therefore, the citizens of America, both black and white, must stick together in order to achieve a common goal. He thinks that the discrimination and prejudice has gone on for too long and it is now time for true freedom. The most famous part of this speech, however, is that King talks about his hopes and dreams for the future in a time where people in America will live together in peace.
