    Martin Luther King, Jr. has marked an important turning point in American history. His bravery and leadership on Civil Right’s movement has enlightened the belief of freedom and equality. In my opinion, America was not a democratic country until the Civil Right’s movement.

    I would also agree that it’s one of the most revolutionary and effect-lasting speech in the history of the United States. It not only initiated political movements, but I believe it gave persnal insights to so many individuals as well.

  3. Such an important speech in American history! “I Have a Dream” is significant moment of the American Civil Rights Movement. After reading this post, I continued to read several articles about that Speech history.
