Of any one person who shows us what the American dream can be its Martin Luther King, Jr. He wrote a speech that was read in Washington D.C. It is probably the most famous speech in American history.

Dr. King believed America had great potential. America was slow at allowing equal rights to ALL Americans and he felt that could change.
