The hallmarks of every great speech

  • The masterly use of repetition. King uses this technique throughout his speech. “One hundred years later…,” “now is the time…,” “we can never be satisfied…,” “I have a dream…” 
  • The use of tone. Throughout his speech, his passion is so evident that it feels almost tangible. He evokes a strong, active, commanding voice, using such verbs as must, cannot, and can never.
  • Storytelling. When King begins with the phrase “I have a dream…” he is painting a picture. He is visualizing what life would be like for African Americans if the Civil Rights movement were won.
