Choose **one** of the following questions and send an e-mail to manitoutech@gmail.com
 * 1) What are some of the specific acts of injustice against African Americans which King cites in his speech?
 * 2) Besides the Declaration of Independence and the Bible, King cites "the American dream" as a source for his own dream. What is the American dream? Discuss this concept with classmates and then write a definition for this commonly used term.
 * 3) Near the end of his speech, King names many different states. Why do you think he did this?
 * 4) "I Have a Dream" was a persuasive speech meant to convey to King's audience the need for change and encourage them to work for federal legislation to help end racial discrimination. If you had been in the vast crowd that day, do you think you would have been moved my King's speech? Why or why not?
