Bellringer 8/29/13     Martin Luther King Jr.  "I Have A Dream" Speech

“We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back.”

I think this line of the speech is very important to his cause. He intends to show people that to make his speech a reality, we must all work as one to solve the problem at hand. During the time of racism and segregation it was very important for the blacks to stick together and support each other. Also, this line includes whites needing to accept the blacks and support them as well. "We cannot turn back" means that once their movement begins, they cannot stop until their major goal of ending racism has been accomplished. This line was very powerful, and it's meaning was a major influence of the cause.
