Read the following Paragraph and answer the questions given in the end to show you reading comprehension:
“I Have a Dream” is a public speech delivered by American civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963, in which he called for an end to racism in the United States and called for civil and economic rights. Delivered to over 250,000 civil rights supporters from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., the speech was a defining moment of the civil rights movement.

Beginning with a reference to the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed millions of slaves in 1863, King observes that: “one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free”. Towards the end of the speech, King departed from his prepared text for a partly improvised peroration on the theme “I have a dream”, prompted by Mahalia Jackson’s cry: “Tell them about the dream, Martin!” In this part of the speech, which most excited the listeners and has now become its most famous, King described his dreams of freedom and equality arising from a land of slavery and hatred. Jon Meacham writes that, “With a single phrase, Martin Luther King Jr. joined Jefferson and Lincoln in the ranks of men who’ve shaped modern America”.The speech was ranked the top American speech of the 20th century in a 1999 poll of scholars of public address.

ans no. 1
he spoke about the rights of blacks. he said black Americans are still not free of segregation, discrimination, and poverty. The country’s founding documents promise all Americans the right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” but for black Americans this promise has proven to be a “bad check.” By King’s account, civil rights activists refuse to believe that equality and justice are limited resources, and so have come to cash that check regardless.
ans. 2
He reads out the Emancipation Proclamation. He is prompted by Mahalia Jackson. he is overwhelmed by the crowd. Lincoln had asked him to give the speech. he wants his people to get free and live like equals as whites
