Read the excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.
But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One
hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly
crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of
discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on
a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of
material prosperity.
How does the repeated phrase support King's message?
by emphasizing that time has passed without social
progress
by suggesting that freedom will come eventually without
effort
by insisting that people cooperate to achieve a common
goal
by hinting that all Americans should strive for material
wealth
