Question 2: Read the article “I have a dream” carefully then do the exercises below.
 “I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be
 judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character”
 The third Monday of January each year is a national holiday in the USA. It is called Martin
Luther King Day.
 Martin Luther King was born in 1929 in Georgia in the south of the USA. His father was a
priest, and Martin studied at college and also got a job as a priest in Alabama.
 At that time, black and white people in the USA were not equal. For example, in Alabama, a
black person had to stand up on a bus if a white person wanted to sit down. One day, a brave black
woman called Rosa Parks refused to do this. Parts and King decided to work together to change the
law. In the end they won, and in 1956 Alabama changed the law.
 King continued to fight for the rights of black Americans. He made some famous speeches,
won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, and was a hero for millions of Americans. But some white
people hated him. On 3rd April 1968, he made a speech to a big crowd in Memphis, Tennessee. He
talked about his enemies and his own death. The next day, James Earl Ray shot Martin Luther
King.
 King had four children: two boys and two girls. They all decided to continue his work and to
fight for the rights of black Americans.

 1. people who hate you : .......................................
