In Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech he is expressing the need for equality. He talks about how African Americans aren't allowed to sit in certain places. One of the most specific places he points out are the city buses. African Americans are only supposed to sit in the back of the bus. Rosa Parks, who King mentions in his speech, broke this supposed "law." She was then arrested and brought to jail just because she wasn't sitting in the back of the bus where she was "supposed" to be sitting.
African Americans were criticized against and not treated equally. King made many speeches to make it clear to everyone that this needed to change. He pushed and told people that it was okay to stand up for their rights, he preached for change in this country. People fought for their rights, fought for how they deserved to be treated and fought for their freedom.
