Doctor Martin Luther King is insisting his fellow citizens don't just sit by and be treated the way they are. This speech is a response to the incident which happened to Rosa Parks, and King is says in the speech they don't want to be violent, they just want to be treated like the citizens they are. He says specifically, 'There will be no crosses burned at any bus stops in Montgomery. There will be no white persons pulled out of their homes and taken out on some distant road and lynched for not cooperating. There will be nobody among us who will stand up and defy the Constitution of this nation. We only assemble here because of our desire to see right exist.' He also says they need to stick together, because then they will get not what they desire, but what they deserve. He knows what they are doing is not wrong, and he says if what their doing is wrong, than the Supreme Court is wrong, and the Constitution is wrong, and God is wrong.
