Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free.

The allusion indicates to the audience that enslaving people was always illegal in the United States.

The allusion demonstrates Dr. King's belief that equality was achieved with the Emancipation Proclamation.
