Assignment: Select one of the following and write what you think Dr. King meant by
the statement and why was it relevant for the time period.
Selected Phrase: "Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred."
I think by saying "Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred" Martin Luther King, Jr. meant that when you are searching for your freedom, you should not be judging others by something they have absolutely no control of. Being free does not mean you are free to judge others only for the simple reason that you are not happy with your life. During the time that Martin Luther King, Jr. made the "I Have a Dream" speech, there were slavery and equality issues.
