The author's opinions are supported by the use of descriptive language, examples and anecdotes. The author supports her message by giving examples of the people on the flight finding the strength to rise above their own fear offer kindness and support to each other. The author's choice of words and details shows that she has great pride and a feeling of indebtedness for the way everyone behaved during the near disaster

I Have a Dream

The speech, delivered at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial on August 28, 1963, is widely recognized and quoted.

He goes on to say that this is a beginning and notes that civil rights supporters will not be satisfied as long as African Americans are treated brutally or denied equal rights.
