Martin Luther King proclaimed this speech to be the greatest demonstration of freedom in their history. Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, which served as a beacon of light for the blacks, but even after years and years, not much has changed. They are still bound by racism and discrimination. They want to change that. According to the Declaration of Independence, all men should have equal rights, but that doesn't seem to followed when it comes to black people. Even though they're being mistreated and discriminated against, they still have hope that justice will be served. They will not rest until they have the life that is rightly theirs, without resorting to violence or distrust of all white people. Even with how badly they were treated—having been struck by police brutality and false accusations just because of their skin—they will not let their bitterness and anger sweltering and boil. They will not stop marching forward until they realise their dreams and finally attain freedom.
