The Author Martin Luther King One of the prominent leaders of the African-American Civil Rights Movement. Youngest person to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Introduction One of the most memorable public speeches in history. Delivered on 28th August 1963 to 200,000 people before the Lincoln Memorial. The occasion, the hundredth anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. The speech highlights racial injustice suffered by African-Americans.

The Speech Emancipation Proclamation came as a beacon of light/hope for the African Americans slaves. Hundred years later, the blacks still not free; still chained by segregation/discrimination. An exile in his own land. This demonstration to cash the cheque of life, liberty, happiness given to all Americans.

The Speech… Fatal for the nation to over look the urgency of the moment. All are God’s children. The nation needs solid rock of fraternity, not the quick sands of racial injustice.

The Speech… The Blacks advised not to have bitterness, hatred. Instead, use discipline/dignity against physical violence. Pledge never to turn back.

The Speech… The Struggle must continue till :- Police brutality stops. The black is not forced to live in a ghetto. Is allowed into motels/hotels of America. Black children are not judged by colour of skin but by their character. The blacks get the right to vote. Freedom rings from every state and city of America.
