Dr. King is an emotional, inspiring and strong speaker. His "I Have A Dream" speech stirs a deep war of emotions in the heart of every American; therefore, this speech is the perfect demonstration of pathos. While the pathos overwhelms the logo and ethos, they are also very present in his speech. On August 28, 1963, Dr. King traveled to the Washington Mall from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial to deliver his speech to his fellow Americans. Dr. King commands his speech during an ironic time in American history. African Americans were frowned upon by Caucasians. Not only did African Americans have difficulty integrating, but Asians and Hispanics were also discriminated against and surrogate for the Caucasian population. The ruthless Caucasian police officers would give verbal commands to their racist bloodhounds on desperate but innocent African American young adults and children. The inhumane Caucasian firefighters used their all-powerful water hose on non-violent protesters, just because the protesters' skin was darker than theirs. King first starts all pumped up on a very light note. He is very optimistic about his speech in the very first line. Yet he bluntly addressed issues of the hardships that African Americans had to endure as America began to become a stronger symbol of hope and freedom. He recognized the experience of the wealth to which his race had become accustomed, the poverty of the ghetto. He recognized the right of every black and pale man which contains the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of true happiness. As bluntly as he began his speech, he boldly emphasized the Supreme Law of the Land - the Constitution - and cited the Declaration of Independence as everything. King is a man brimming with nothing but credibility. Not once did he point fingers like a child would and blame Caucasian men for forcing African Americans to try to survive a horrible ordeal of history. He encouraged his brothers and sisters of color not to protest with harsh physical violence, but to join hands and peacefully ask to be treated equally. He encouraged his brothers and sisters of color to return to where they came from without despair in their hearts, but with the hope that one day there will be freedom at their fingertips..
