Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.

• We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back.

Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, Black men, and white men, Jews, and Gentiles, Protestants, and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: Free at last. Free at last. Thank God almighty, we are free at last.

This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South with. With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.

But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrup
We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.

-"But 100 years later, the Negro still is not free. 100 years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity.

- The “I Have a Dream” speech, delivered by Martin Luther King, Jr. before a crowd of some 250,000 people at the 1963 March on Washington, remains one of the most famous speeches in history.
- In preparation for his turn at the event, King solicited contributions from colleagues and incorporated successful elements from previous speeches. Although his “I have a dream” segment did not appear in his written text, it had been used to great effect before, most recently during a June 1963 speech to 150,000 supporters in Detroit.

* Around the halfway point of the speech, Mahalia Jackson implored him to “Tell ’em about the ‘Dream,’ Martin.” Whether or not King consciously heard, he soon moved away from his prepared text.
* Unlike his fellow speakers in Washington, King didn’t have the text ready for advance distribution by August 27. He didn’t even sit down to write the speech until after arriving at his hotel room later that evening, finishing up a draft after midnight.
* At times warning of the potential for revolt, King nevertheless maintained a positive, uplifting tone, imploring the audience to “go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.”

“Martin Luther King, Jr., a young Baptist minister, rose to prominence in the 1950s as a spiritual leader of the burgeoning civil rights movement and president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SLCC).”

“Around the time he wrote his famed “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” King decided to move forward with the idea for another event that coordinated with Negro American Labor Council (NACL) founder A. Philip Randolph’s plans for a job rights march.”

“In preparation for his turn at the event, King solicited contributions from colleagues and incorporated successful elements from previous speeches.”

“Repeating the mantra, “I have a dream,” he offered up hope that “my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character” and the desire to “transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.”

“We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their selfhood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating "for whites only."

“...delivered by Martin Luther King, Jr. before a crowd of some 250,000 people…”

“Weaving in references to the country’s Founding Fathers and the Bible, King used universal themes to depict the struggles of African Americans before closing with an improvised riff on his dreams of equality.”

“Similarly, the Birmingham Campaign of 1963, designed to challenge the Alabama city’s segregationist policies, produced the searing images of demonstrators being beaten, attacked by dogs and blasted with high-powered water hoses.”

“At times warning of the potential for revolt, King nevertheless maintained a positive, uplifting tone, imploring the audience to “go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.

Most quotes do a good job at getting to POV/purpose. Which trees point to a feeling more than why it was written? Could use trees that more clearly show tone from the reading.

# data[].attributes.body
What trees come from outside the speech itself that would help show why King spoke the way he did? Need some contextual trees as well.

1 clearly hopeful tree in your list here. Where are others? Or is there another terms that connects with more trees that show the tone/emotional impact of the speech?

Great trees leading to POV/Purpose, do you have any trees that point to the tone of the speech?

# data[].attributes.body
Really great furthering trees, could get to the POV purpose more easily this way.

You'll probably want more than one tree that point why think that's the purpose.

2nd POV tree? Unclear here.

Tone- we'll talk over tone options later, but I can see sort of how you're pulling that out.

# data[].attributes.body
The trees in your POV/purpose connect well.

What trees from the History.com site would help determine the POV/purpose more clearly.

Tone-wise, probably stick with the term that elicits emotion rather than one that could lead more towards purpose/pov. (Inspirational over fighting for freedom)

# data[].attributes.body
Your furthering trees do a really good job of getting the the purpose/pov you are leaning in on. I do think the purpose was to do more than call out segregation, but good start with your trees.

Tonewise, you have a huge chunk quote at the beginning and then a short one after. What phrases in the reading are meant' to elicit/envision the feeling/vision that MLK wants us to feel/hear? What is that feeling the MLK wants us to feel? Would inspired/hopeful fit better?

# data[].attributes.body
Your trees from the outside sources have some connection to POV, but could more clearly connect to the purpose, why MLK is saying this speech. Some other trees from this source could help see POV/Purpose more clearly.

POV/Purpose trees connect well with your POV/Purpose.

Tone trees are usable, connect with some of the emotional drive of the speech.
