Question about Marting Luther King Jr. "I have a dream".. I need help?

Question

King bases his strategy firmly upon the principle of non-violent action. But can you find passages in this speech where he implies that this strategy might not prove to the permanent, or only, choice of African Americans? In other words, does he imply what consequences might follor if America's white power structure does not cease oppressing blacks? If he does, what is the relationship between his philosophy of non-violence and violent action?

Answer 1

You might find something in these links I've read the speech and find nothing that your question asks for. Perhaps I've just overlooked it.
Good Luck!

King is educated at segregated public schools in Georgia. At 15 he enrols at Atlanta's Morehouse College.

While at Morehouse he is influenced by the writings of the 19th Century American philosopher Henry David Thoreau, including the essay
On the Duty of Civil Disobedience.

He decides that the ministry will best provide the foundations on which to build his emerging ideas on social change.

Answer 2

A lot of MLK's speeches are posted in text on www.mlkonline.net. That is a great resource for anything Martin Luther King Jr.!!!

Answer 3

Yes he did imply violent action. And his real name was Marvin Luther King before he changed it for "political expediency". He also plagiarized his doctoral dissertation. He was as phony as his partner in crime, JFK. Some parts of the speech were amplified by Malcolm X. All of the guys caught a load of lead. Nuff sed.
