Martin Luther King was a strong supporter of civil rights, helping those who were colored. He believed that the Negroes were being denied their rights through this division of colors. The Emancipation Proclamation promised them the freedoms and happiness of life everyone was entitled to, however he felt that the b

lack people were bring cheated on certain aspects of life that were undoubtedly theirs. He believed Negroes were equal to whites and should be treated so. He uses inductive and deductive arguments to sway his followers and other listeners to join his fight against segregation. His inductive argument was presented in a very persuasive manner and is hard to argue with. The evidence he uses includes the mistreatment and degrading of the Negroes. Negroes are not able to secure suitable lodging at motels. Negroes are not able to climb the social ladder, and the most they can hope for is going from a small ghetto to a larger ghetto. Negroes cannot vote, and where they can, they believe they have nothing to vote for. Negroes are the target of police brutality and persecution. All of this treatment is undeniable and truthful. The facts and opinions are intertwined with each other, and instead of weakening his argument, King's argument is strengthened since his opinions are highly valued as the opinions of a great man. All of these combined bring us to his conclusion, that all men were created equal by God, and should be treated that way by each other and this division will only bring hardships upon this great country. His deductive argument was also very convincing. All men are created equal under the United States Government as stated in the US constitution, and since Negroes are men, Negroes should be as equal as any other man in the eyes of the government. King also included many opposing arguments, escalating his persuasiveness by strongly refuting them. An example of this was when he brought up the issue of how the Negroes need to be satisfied with what they have. He refutes it powerfully by saying that Negroes will never be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream." There is no concession to the argument. This shows his determination in reaching his goal of equality for all. He had many assumptions in his speech. One was assuming that all Negroes wanted their freedom from segregation and discrimination. Although this is what most Negroes wanted, it is not necessarily what all Negroes wanted. He also assumes that the Negro will be able to overcome this humiliation, and that it won't be long until this happens, which is also not necessarily true.
