Assignment 4

This picture, taken during Dr. Martin Luther King’s famous I Had a Dream speech on August 28 1963 helped change the way we live today. As Martin Luther King gave this speech both African Americans and Whites were coming together to help create equality for all. Even though 250,000 people attended this demonstration this image helped send a message through out the country.  As Dr. King looks out into the crowd we can see the vast amounts of people willing and ready to make a change. This picture gives the feeling of empowerment and determination, similar to how all the bystanders and MLK felt. The iconic speech was the turning point in the civil rights movement. Without this moment we as Americans would not be where we are today.
