Read the excerpt below: As of now, if a child is brought into the country illegally, there is no method for becoming a
documented resident. Congress should consider giving undocumented students an opportunity
to gain legal status by passing the DREAM act, a bill that would provide certain illegal students
who graduate from US high schools, who are of good moral character, and who arrived in the
U. S. as minors, the opportunity to earn permanent residency. It was introduced in the United States Senate, and the United States House of Representatives on March 26, 2009. Passing
the DREAM Act would encourage undocumented students to achieve in school and become

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.
