Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of new

Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from
the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.” Here Dr. Martin Luther is saying that freedom
should be given to everyone no matter where they live or what they look like. “Go back to
Missouri, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to
Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this
situation can and will be changed.” Dr. King is using repetition here by getting his point across
that wherever you are from, you can go home. You can live your life freely and have the same
rights as any other human being.
After this famous speech, people rejoiced in the fact that there was no long segregation
between the races. Many were in favor of Martin Luther’s speech, while some were in protest.
These words and phrases contribute to the overall meaning and tone of the speech as it is telling
the listeners about how there was no more time to be given, freedom would ring throughout the
country, and people could go back to their homes. Shortly after this movement, everyone was
civil and had the same rights as one another. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. used many phrases
throughout his speech to get his point across.
