I Have a Dream
(Martin Luther King Jr.)
1. "The Life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles
of segregation and the chains of discrimination." Elaborate.
Ans. – Martin Luther is trying to convey the challenges being
faced by the Negroes in their own country: In the vast ocean of
material glory the Negroes led the life of deprivation and
exploitation. They were exiled in their own land. They were not
allowed to live in towns and cities. They couldn’t stay in Motels
and Hotels. Therefore, Martin Luther says that Negro is crippled
by manacles of segregation and chains of discrimination.
Q.2 - What would be fatal for the nation? Why? Explain.
Ans. – According to Martin Luther - "It would be fatal for the
nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to
underestimate the determination of the Negro". Here he points
towards two important things - Firstly, the urgency of the
moment and secondly the determination of the Negroes.
Martin Luther was saying first thing because The Negroes were
fed up of the situations of their country and their rights and freedom couldn’t be delayed any further. Secondly, he
emphasises that Negroes are fully determined that they won’t
take rest and fight till their last breath for righteousness and
dignity. So, if the nation overlooks these things, it would be fatal
for it.

dream'appears in lesson?" Discuss the importance of this

hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former
slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of
brotherhood; that one day even the state of Mississippi will be
transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice; that his four
children will one day live in a nation where they will not be
judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their
character; that one day the state of Alabama, will be
transformed into a place where little black boys and black girls
will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls
and walk together as sisters and brothers; that one day every
valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made
low, the rough paces will be made plain, and the crooked places
will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be
revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
'I have a dream' has been repeated at least nine times.

Q.4 What is the pledge? When will it be fulfilled?
Ans. – The pledge was that they shall always march ahead. We
will not turn back. They will continue to work with the faith that
unearned suftering is redemptive.
They pledge that in the process of gaining their rightful place
they must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. They will not seek to
satisfy their thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of
bitterness and hatred.
They will conduct their struggle on the high plane of dignity and
discipline. They will not allow their creative protest to
degenerate into physical violence. Again and again they will rise
to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul
force.
The pledge will be fulfilled and they will be satisfied when their
bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, can gain lodging in the
motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities, When the
Negro's basic mobility will not be limited from a smaller ghetto
to a larger one. When justice rolls down like water and
righteousness like a mighty stream.
Q.5 - Do you have a dream for your state? Narrate your dream
in your own words.
Ans. Yes, I also have a dream for my state. Bihar is a beautiful
state of simple hearted and hard working people. People here
are not much literate but they are very gentle and cooperative.
Only if I become able in helping my state in improving the
quality of education, the living standard of my state will be
changed dramatically. So, I want to run an online education
platform in future, so that maximum number of students may
get benefit of it and improve their education and living
standard.
