This speech, "I Have A Dream" was written by Martin Luther King Jr. on August 28, 1963 on the footsteps of the Lincoln Memorial. His speech was aimed for everyone who was present, and for everyone in the world. His was advocating civil rights, and during his speech he was expressing angry emotional words. He was demanding freedom for the African Americans. He believed it was about time that they receive their freedom. In his speech, he uses ethos and pathos. For the ethos, he states that the right thing to do is give freedom to the blacks. They should be treated equally as normal people. For the pathos, he explains how he wants his daughters to be judged by their characters and well beings rather than the color of their skins. His speech is so powerful that it is still remembered today by the entire world. It still shakes people and tells them not to be racist.
I think that Gokors and Michael's presentation was extremely detailed. Even though I knew about this speech, I did not exactly know everything about it. Now, I could proudly say that I am educated about King's speech. It is a really touching speech, that uses a lot of emotion and strong adjectives describing his view about the racism. I respect his ideas, and his speech because everyone should always respect each other. I also believe that his speech will forever be remembered, and is probably the best speech of its time.
