The Day He Revelaed His Dream

""I have 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'" (King Jr.). Martin Luther King Jr. protested his dreams to the world through this famous speech on August 28, 1963. His most famous speech was called, "I Have a Dream." The motive for him giving this speech was to protest the rights that all men were created equal, black or white. Martin Luther King Jr. grew up in a world full of segregation; Segregation is the splitting up of races based on skin color. Martin Luther King Jr. was probably one of the greatest and most astounding speakers on the civil rights of all men in the 1900's, and has most certainly made the largest indentation in African American history beyond any other man or women.

Michael Luther King Jr. was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia to his mother Alberta King, who was a schoolteacher and his father Michael Luther King, a Baptist minister. Later Michael Luther King Jr. was renamed Martin Luther King Jr. He attended public segregation schools until he graduated high school at the age of fifteen. He went on to college and received his Bachelor of Arts Degree from Morehouse College, a Negro Institution of Atlanta, in 1948, which is the same school, both his grandfather and father attended. Martin Luther King Jr. goes on and earns several other degrees such as his Ph.D in Systematic Theology.
