"I have a Dream" Speech -Martin Luther King Jr.
The speech given by Martin Luther King on that day changed this nation for the better. During his very moving speech he used great technique. He was able to touch the hearts and minds of many by repeating phases like, "one hundred years later", "we can never be satisfied", and the most famous, "I have a dream". He speaks of the fact that "one hundred years later the negro is still not free". He says that the negro man can "never be satisfied until as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality.". He finally says that he has "a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

It begins with James talking about his parents a hundred years before he wrote this, he says the his parents were born in Africa at least that is what they told him. They were owned by master Bob Houston, who owned a ranch with cattle and horses. He said that when he was old enough to sit on the horses they taught him to ride them and to tend to them. He said that once he got good at riding he would go with "them"(unclear who "them" is) to mexico. While there they would herd more horses. Then he tells of when he saved a bunch of horses from running away and his master gave him a new saddle because of it.
