Famous speeches(Q9 Animal Farm)

Martin Luther King,Jr had famously gave a public speech which is known to many as " I have a dream". He spoke of his desire for a future where black and white, among others, would coexist harmoniously as equals. King's delivery of the speech on August 28, 1963, from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, was a defining moment of the American Civil Rights Movement,in relation to human rights issues. Delivered to over 250,000 civil rights supporters, the speech is often considered to be one of the greatest and most notable speeches in history and was ranked the top American speech of the 20th century by a 1999 poll of scholars of public address.After listening to his speech, I thought that what he said was indeed very true and meaningful and I feel that something should be done to ensure that both the blacks and the whites should be treated the same,equally.
