King begins his historic and legendary speech simply - "I have a dream". Using repetition, he repeats this phrase throughout the speech, creating significance in its meaning and creating emotional appeals to the audience. In his speech, he hopes that there will be a time where all men are judges equally by the content of their character. With this he then moves to someday children of different colors will be able to play together. King infers to the injustice of the Constitution by claiming that "all men are created equal" - both black and white men are equal at character. King continues about how he dreams that the crooked become straight, the wrongs will be corrected, and the narrowminded slave owners of yesterday can sit down and eat with their prior slaves. King's dream came true, as his speech alone united millions.
