In Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech “I’ve been to the Mountaintop,” which is addressed to Memphis, Martin Luther King Jr. starts off and begins to talk to the audience as if having a conversation rather than giving a formal speech. In this informal conversation he has with the audience, he is able to bring together the audience, gaining support from the listeners. He uses the everyday scenarios and his personal life experiences in his speech to talk to the audience at a personal level. He pictures the almost-perfect America when he states, “I would take my mental flight by Egypt (Yeah), and I would watch God’s children in their magnificent trek from the dark dungeons of Egypt through, or rather, across the Red Sea, through the wilderness, on toward the Promised Land. And in spite of its magnificence, I wouldn’t stop there. (All right).” After, he continues to talk about the extent to which he still has hope for America in changing its views on prejudice. And when he talks about the mountaintop, I think that he is referring to not just the equality of all races, but the unity of the nation when he mentions the mountaintop.
