Why Did Martin Luther King JR. Give The Speech I Have A Dream In Front Of the Lincoln Memorial?     

I think that King presented the speech in front of the memorial because King’s speech (I Have A Dream) was about equality. The Lincoln Memorial is for Abe Lincoln. Lincoln gave a speech called the emancipation proclamation. It too was about equality. King’s speech was about African American rights, and Lincoln’s speech was about freeing the slaves which the majority of was African American. King thought similar things to what Lincoln thought. The speech was given at the end of the Washington D.C. march.
