Read the excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free.

Why does Dr. King's allude to the Emancipation Proclamation in his speech?

The allusion demonstrates Dr. King's belief that equality was achieved with the Emancipation Proclamation.

The allusion reflects Dr. King's importance since it refers to another important figure in American history: President Lincoln.

What is implied in this sentence from mark twain's "the £1,000,000 bank-note"? i was puzzled, and wanted to discuss the matter a little further, but they didn't; so i took my leave, feeling hurt and insulted to be made the butt of what was apparently some kind of a practical joke, and yet obliged to put up with it, not being in circumstances to resent affronts from rich and strong folk.
