I Have A Dream

Here is finally a reading that i completely understood. I had no problem reading King's speech, "I Have A Dream". This is my first time actually reading the whole speech, and it's nice to know that it wasn't all about, "I have a dream-this and I have a dream-that". His speech contained evidence (the lie in the Constitution) for his argument and a solution to the problem that America was dealing with at the time. I really enjoyed the metaphors used to compare the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution with a "bad check" to the blacks that came back as "insufficient funds". It's amazing how one man envisioned what he wanted the future to look like, and made a difference by sharing his vision into other's thoughts.
