Read the excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr.’s "The American Dream” speech.

It is a dream of a land where men of all races, of all nationalities and of all creeds can live together as brothers.

Which statement from Governor George Wallace's inaugural address best serves as conflicting evidence to King’s statement?

Bless all the people of this great sovereign State and nation, both white and black.
To realize our ambitions and to bring to fruition our dreams, we as Alabamians must take cognizance of the world about us.
The true brotherhood of America, of respecting the separateness of others . . . and uniting in effort . . . has been so twisted and distorted.
In united effort we were meant to live under this government.

Answer: The true brotherhood of America, of respecting the separateness of others . . . and uniting in effort . . . has been so twisted and distorted.

Governor George Wallace was an American politician and 45th Governor of Alabama. He was famous for his opposition to desegregation and his support for Jim Crow positions.

His sentence "The true brotherhood of America, of respecting the separateness of others . . . and uniting in effort . . . has been so twisted and distorted" shows his political leanings. Wallace is arguing that the separation of different people (in this case black and white) needs to be respected, and that it should not be an obstacle for the unity of the country.

Martin Luther King Jr. would disagree with this position, as it clashes with his dream of all men of all races, nationalities and creeds living together as brothers.
