"I Have a Dream" was a persuasive speech meant to convey to King's audience the need for

change and encourage them to work for federal legislation to help end racial discrimination. If
you had been in the crowd that day, do you think you would have been moved by King's
speech? Why or why not?

I resent that you are telling me what he meant as if you knew, he didn’t tell us that he said those words to encourage his audience to work for federal legislation, shame on you for taking liberties with this great mans words. I would not have been in the audience. I can only tell you how I feel about his words as I view them from the perspective of history. He was right to encourage all Americans to fulfill our great preamble to our constitution and to accept that all men are created equal.

Answer:

If I was in the crowd I think that I would be deeply moved by the speech because Martin Luther King points out horrific and unjust things done to African Americans like segregation. Wanting a bright future free from being looked down upon for his children and all black children is a beautiful goal worthy of sheading tears.
