I Have A Dream Martin Luther King 
The speech started expressing how happy Martin Luther King was to join in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom.
He mentioned the approval of Emancipation Proclamation, and that being a beacon of hope to the black slaves. However, he concluded that the "negro" after 100 years is still not free, that they still lack freedom and, still stuck in the chains of discrimination.
With this being said, he still encouraged his people not to fight fire with fire, that they should not engulf themselves with hatred and bitterness, instead they will conduct their struggle with discipline and dignity
He then said that the black will not be satisfied until the discriminatiom, brutality against black people will stop, that they will never be satisfied until freedom and true liberty is achieved.
He said that he had a dream whereas children will one day live in a nation where they where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. That the negros will finally be able to be free from chains of discrimination and they will no longer be segrated or treated poorly and unfairly
That one day, freedom will ring throught United States or the rest of the world even, and when that day comes 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!"

Claims & Evidences

He advised his people not to fight fire with fire
that they will struggle with dignity and discipline
- But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.*

He dreamt of being free and being able to enjoy without judgement from their skin color but with the contents of their heart
.
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 that one day every valley shall be exhalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
