Why Martin Luther King Had His Speech At The Lincoln Memorial

This is why I think Martin Luther King did his famous I have a dream speech at the Lincoln memorial.  I think it’s because they both wanted all Americans to have equal rights.  The speech was basically a reminder of what Abraham Lincoln said.  King’s speech was about everyone in America should have equal rights.  Abraham also wanted everyone to have equal rights.  King finished what Lincoln started.

The speech talks about how Rosa Parks did not give her seat on the bus, and how it was ridiculous to throw someone in jail for it.  All King wanted was for people to have the same rights as everyone, a lot like what Lincoln wanted.  That is why I think Martin Luther King wanted his speech at the Lincoln memorial.
