I love how the audience repeats and shouts their enthusiasm. The description of his "dream" is really vivid.

Dr. King is inspirational. I was thinking of what he was alluding to when he mentioned the mountain, and I was thinking the mountain top that the Greeks know to be Mount Olympus. In the Christian spectrum the mountain where God and Moses talked. I remember in that spec as well that there were very many troubles and fears that Moses had to encounter and overcome. As he did, he was given a very promising conversation with that of God. That would make sense seeing as Dr. King was preaching to the church. I'm probably making stupid connections though.... I also really liked how he used his volume as emphasis in the speech. Dr. King's last speech was incredible. His words inspired many of the sanitation workers that day.
