I have a dream speech was given by Dr. Martin Luther KIng. Old Major has a dream and tells all the other animals on the farm about it.

In Dr. King’s speech, he talked about segregation and discrimination towards the black people in the world, that they didn’t have the same equal rights as the white people. In old Majors speech, Mr. Jones owned the animals and overworked them, fed them little or none at all and even took away some food like milk and eggs. Dr. King saw a future where black people could live free together, and not be looked upon
