Also! Question number two!
Analyze the connection MLK makes between the Emancipation Proclamation and the current situation African Americans were experiencing.
A; Martin Luther King was speaking about the need to free African Americans from slavery, just like Abraham Lincoln did years ago.
B; Martin Luther King makes the point that 100 years after slaves were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, they are not truly free due to continued segregation.
C; Martin Luther King thought life was going very well for African Americans, and no further action needed to be taken. He showed extreme gratitude to Abraham Lincoln.
D; Martin Luther King expressed extreme anger towards Abraham Lincoln for not ending segregation.

Answer 1

The answer is B. Slavery ended long before that point, Martin Luther King Jr. spoke up about segregation. So A doesn’t make sense. C doesn’t make sense because MLK didn’t think things were going well, he spoke up because things WERENT going well. D doesn’t make sense either.

Answer 2

D makes you think that there was a second civil war. MLK was not angry with Lincoln: History had taught him that the Emancipation Proclamation was the first step. D is not true.

Of all your choices, this one could be eliminated the most quickly. The Civil Rights Movement showed that African Americans were anything but wholly satisfied. C is incorrect.

The best answer is B. Sometime when you have a moment read "I have a dream." speech delivered by King.

It wasn't slavery exactly. It was segregation mostly. A is not a good answer: it might work if B was not better.
