Martin Luther King Jr. starts his speech similarly to Lincoln's Gettysburg Address saying that five score years ago the emancipation proclamation was signed freeing all slaves. He then goes on saying that nearly one hundred years later these "free" blacks are not free at all or treated fairly. He continues describing the bad conditions that the blacks live in today and preaches that now is the time to open the doors for God's children. He assures people that they will not turn to violence but will not be satisfied until they get what is desired. Then King goes on talking about his dream for blacks living in this country; a dream where they will live peacefully alongside whites, and the nation will uphold it's promise to let men live freely.
