In 1963, on August 28 MLK gave a legendary speech in a time of extreme racism. In the South, African American were facing extreme racism after they were supposed to be free by the emancipation proclamation but the southerners denied their rights. So when black people started to protest, even though they did it peacefully, southerners set dogs, used fire hoses and locked them up in jail. Martin Luther King saw what he need to do so he wrote a speech for his march to Washington. He called it, I Had A Dream. In this speech he used the power of the rhetorical devices such as repetition, diction and tone to convey that people often cast judgments based on outside appearances and as a result they disown people before they even get to know them.
