Possibly one of the most motivating speeches
In 1950's America, the equality of man envisioned by the Declaration of Independence was far from a reality. People of colour — blacks, Hispanics, Orientals — were discriminated against in many ways, both overt and covert. The 1950's were a turbulent time in America, when racial barriers began to come down due to Supreme Court decisions, like Brown v. Board of Education; and due to an increase in the activism of blacks, fighting for equal rights.
