A part of his speech is “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed-we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal “. He delivered that part of the speech and more that touched and inspired americans. 5 years later, in 1968 Martin Luther King Jr. was shot and killed. Dr. King’s dream of equality and brotherhood helped lead the way to a better future for millions of African Americans.
