The main message of the speech is that all people should be treated equally, no matter the color of their skin, and that freedom and justice should be available to everyone in America.

Martin Luther King Jr. uses history by mentioning the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution to show that Black Americans are still not receiving the rights promised to all citizens.

He repeats the phrase “I have a dream” to give hope and create a powerful, emotional rhythm that inspires people to believe in a better future.

He shows both hope and urgency by talking about the pain of racism now, but also his dream for a peaceful, fair tomorrow.

The Lincoln Memorial is important because Abraham Lincoln helped end slavery, and speaking there connects King’s dream to the ongoing fight for freedom.

The speech is still relevant today because racism and injustice still exist, and people are still working for equality and civil rights.

The speech made me feel hopeful and inspired, but also made me think about how much work still needs to be done to fix unfair treatment in society.

The part that stood out most to me was when he said he dreams that children “will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character,” because it shows what true equality should look like.
