After witnessing the “I Have A Dream” speech I must say I concur and agree that Dr. Martin Luther King’s, speech was given at an appropriate time because of the burden and crucial times the African American People were experiencing and facing, I can clarify my point by saying, while some people might think it was wrong, in reality it was actually a great idea because those people who were being mistreated had someone speaking up for them and trying to put an end to racism.
