M.L.K Jr.'s quote; Hope is the thing with joy.

Martin Luther King Jr.


The quote I valued the most from "I Have a Dream" is the following:

"Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice." -Martin Luther King jr.


Why is this quote important to me?

This quote is important to me because it means that racism was and is still occuring. Therefore, it means for African Americans to rise up and speak up for themselves because they were the ones being discriminated. Now Martin Luther King Jr. is giving a speech and this is one of the quotes he said. In the speech Martin Luther King Jr. expresses himself and says what he feel because we're all the same, just different color but we're all also human beings. I believe all of the African American people are tired of being discriminated and not to be able to have rights and for their voices to be hear. It is important to me because I believe racism should stop and now by people having "right" at least we know we're all equal even though racism still happens in present day.

Why is this quote important to the audience?

I believe that this quote was important to the audience because this quote is very powerful and from my point of view it helped a lot in his speech. When Martin Luther King Jr. stated this quote the audience cheered. All the quotes he stated that the audienced cheered for, were led to the African Americans to have rights. African American people had dreams just like Martin Luther King Jr. Now this quote is important to the audience because it got to them and they understood and felt the words and felt that they were going to have rights. That's why I think this quote is important to the audience.

"Hope" is the thing with feathers



Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chilliest land
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
I asked a crumb of me.

-Emely Dickinson




Hope is the thing with joy

Hope is the thing with joy
That is helpful with you,
And flows in your head like air,
And cannot be earased from there,

And the wind is blown;
And fades like someone walking away
That could be so important to me
That kept hope from me.

I've seen it in reality
And also on T.V;
Yet, never, im my dreams,
It just comes to me.
