2. "The strength of his leadership was matched only by the power of his words, which still call on us to perfect those sacred ideals enshrined in our founding documents." The quote above shows that Dr. Kings words remain indelible and continues to serve as a reminder to Americans to make their country a better place.

3. I can infer from this piece that economic and social injustice in America has greatly improved from how it used to be in the past, but that there is still room for improvement.

4. Americans can support each other in bringing America closer to the promised land by preparing the next generation of leaders. This can be achieved by 'correcting social injustice, reinvesting in schools, and breaking the circle of poverty among the poor.'

5. In the last paragraph of his text, President Obama persuaded people to support each other.

This can still be applied in the situation of our country because a close look at the society indicates that there are still elements of racism, poverty, and inequality. Therefore, to get to the promised land, it is necessary that people give more of themselves and support each other.

On the eve of his death, Dr. King say about the opportunity that we have to do is:

Americans had the opportunity to make their country a better nation.

The evidence from the text which supports this conclusion that even after his death, King still challenged Americans to make it a better nation is:

"The strength of his leadership was matched only by the power of his words, which still call on us to perfect those sacred ideals enshrined in our founding documents."

Based on this speech, what I can infer about economic and social justice in America is:

There has been a good improvement about social justice in America thanks to the efforts of people like Martin Luther King Jr

Based on this proclamation, Americans can support each other in bringing America closer to Dr. King's "promised land" of equality and opportunity by:

Correcting the errors of the past and educating the young ones

In the last paragraph of his text, President Obama persuaded people to support each other and this could also be applied in the current situation of our country because:

While things have improved, there are still cases of racism and segregation which needs to be eliminated.
