Answer 2

First of all do a search online, find a copy of the speech, and print it out so you can refer to it. Make sure you document where you found the speech so you can put that reference in your works cited section at the end of your paper.

I'm guessing that you're being asked to deconstruct the speech. This means that you need to go through the speech, paragraph by paragraph and sometimes line for line. You need to explain what Martin Luther King meant, but go beyond that.

To go beyond, you need to give some historical background. What kind of world did Martin Luther King and other Blacks and other people of color live in when he gave his speech? Why did MLK say what he said? What kinds of changes was he hoping for? What kind of changes did he get, and which changes still need to happen in the US?

I'd recommend you also go online and get a couple of good websites on MLK himself. That way when you quote something he said, you could also quote something about his life. MLK spoke passionately from his mind and heart. In his time he was considered a dangerous radical, all because he wanted peace, equality, and economic and cultural equality for everyone, regardless of race.

Your paper will get a good grade because of the insight you show. That means you do more than just explain what the speech means. Your paper will get a good grade because you see the bigger picture: who MLK was as a person; what the US was like during his time; and why he was so passionate about equality and civil rights. That depth is what will earn you a good grade!

Good luck. I hope this helps. Cheers, K (teacher for 14 years)

Answer 3

In 1950's America, the equality of man envisioned by the Declaration of Independence was far from a reality. People of color, blacks, Hispanics, Orientals, were discriminated against in many ways, both overt and covert. The 1950's were a turbulent time in America, when racial barriers began to come down due to Supreme Court decisions, like Brown v. Board of Education; and due to an increase in the activism of blacks, fighting for equal rights.

Martin Luther King, Jr., a Baptist minister, was a driving force in the push for racial equality in the 1950's and the 1960's. In 1963, King and his staff focused on Birmingham, Alabama. They marched and protested non-violently, raising the ire of local officials who sicced water cannon and police dogs on the marchers, whose ranks included teenagers and children. The bad publicity and break-down of business forced the white leaders of Birmingham to concede to some anti-segregation demands.

Thrust into the national spotlight in Birmingham, where he was arrested and jailed, King organized a massive march on Washington, DC, on August 28, 1963. On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, he evoked the name of Lincoln in his "I Have a Dream" speech, which is credited with mobilizing supporters of desegregation and prompted the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The next year, King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
