MLK's diction is what made the powerful and memorable speech was it is today, you can just tell he was passionate about what he was talking about. The whole speech had a perfect introduction, middle, and conclusion.

That is really upsetting. Will we ever live in a world where everone everywhere can live in perfect harmony?
