" Free at Last! "
Having to choose a quote from Martin Luther King's speech was hard to choose, because there were a cuple of good quotes and we couldn't decide which one was the best one. We ended up picking the simples quote which was, "free at last, free at last! thank god almighty, we are free at last!"
I think that this quote means that the people are now thanking god and Martin Luther King about their freedom, and the racism that there was around them at all times. They are now happy that someone (Martin Luther King) actually came to speak up for all African Americans's freedom to share everything with white people.
When i hear this quote i think of how the African Americans are happy that Martin Luther King got the courage to speak up, and talk about his dream and how its so unfair how white people and black people couldn't go down town and share the public restrooms, drink from the same water fountain or how black people had to sit all the way at the back of the cta busses, and how black children went to school and teacher wouldn't let them sit with the rest of the children just because of the fact that he/she was different colored skin. After Martin Luther Kings speech, all this changed. Now in days students, blacks and whites share same schools, public restrooms, grocery stores, and water fountains without racism.
This was Martin Luther King's dream, his dream was for people to get along no matter what color skin they were and to live in peace without any racism. He wanted to see how little by little people from any geritage would hug each other with love and as a family.
