The j have a dream speech is absolutely iconic. It is motivating, charismatic, and it shed hope onto American people, especially of color. Martin Luther was a man whom worked hard to create peace within our country. He was a person whom peacefully protested. The I have a dream speech contributes to the ideal American society because in that speech he says The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.

We cannot walk alone.

And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.

We cannot turn back.

There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. In this speech he stood up for our mistreated citizens and told our citizens to stand together. Unity is stronger than all. To be kind to your neighbors, regardless of the differences between. To love, act out of kindness and to always remain humble
