Watch Video and answer these questions:

1. Why do you think Martin Luther King decided to give his speech in Washington DC, near the White House at the place where a statue of Abraham Lincoln is?

2. Abraham Lincoln talked about freeing slaves in 1862. Martin Luther King talked about his children being treated fairly in 1963. That is over 100 years later. Why do you think after 100 years Black Americans were not being treated fairly still?

3. How do you think Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King are similar?
