As many recall, Martin Luther King, Jr was a African American activist that gave a speech called “I Have A Dream” in 1963 which was about racism between whites and African Americans, where he was trying to get all colored people to have the same rights as white people. Throughout Martin Luther King’s rhetorical speech, he uses rhetoric and I am going to analyze his speech by breaking it down into ethos, pathos, and logos as well with giving it a summary of each part.
