Answer: The way they were being judged and the discrimination against them for fighting.
Step-by-step explanation:
For this explanation to give a better view, Martin Luther King saying his speech "I have a dream" Dr. King wanted to give a message of hope to everyone which the end of the speech provides you with, a message of hope. There is so much more in that speech though that leads up to him giving a message of hope. Hope is only his closing. He provides everyone with information on how the Negros will never stop fighting for what they want. He is stating that they are there and are up for the fight of their lives to achieve what they want. He speaks of how they have truly fought for themselves ever since they were brought to this country, especially since Abraham Lincoln had signed the Emancipation Proclamation almost a century earlier. He explained how that document was supposed to make all Negros free and equal in the great land of America. He then goes on to explain that “But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty amid a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his land”. He explains how this is been going on for so long that they are now there to express themselves. He says that through the event and this very important speech, they are here to “dramatize” and bring to life what they want to gain from the Civil Rights Movement, what they have been trying to gain for the last 100 years and in reality even longer then that. He believed that “we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt”, that he thought there was no reason why justice could not be served and all his fellow Negros could not be treated not with just the same rights, but as an equal to any white person that they may encounter in their days.
