AP United States History - NHS: "I Have a Dream" DBQ Prompt - 8 30 2010

AP United States History - NHS: "I Have a Dream" DBQ Prompt - 8 30 2010: "“I Have a Dream” Document-Based Question (DBQ) 'Based on what you know about the U.S. Civil Rights movement, how effective was Dr. King’s ..."

Based on what i know i belive that Dr. King's speech had a huge impact. As i saw the video i was able to notice many white men standing side by side with  black men. Dr. King made a huge impact on america and in doing so inspired thousands of others. In his speech he gave a well detailed discripton on how he saw blacks in america. In my eyes his speech gave more power to the black community than they've ever had in that time.

Im not sure if Dr. King led the march after or before his speech. Either way they both had an influence over one another. He gave this speech to help the hopeless and give light in dark times. "And as we walk, we must make that pledge to march ahead. We cannot turn back." This was the key that led the march over Washinton D.C. Dr. King will always be remembered for his actions.
